I have a newer Prosignia 300 server here (P166) and it have been running 3.1R,3.1S,3.2R and now 3.2S just fine now for a couple of months. I am not sure what hardware they all share, but here are my relevant DMESG output from that machine.

Same here, and only PCI and EISA slots - no ISA at all (not that I want any!).. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
