When using ncr53c8xx -> driver loads, timeout while finding HD. I tried with all kinds of options and combinations for the scsi drivers, no luck. FreeBSD-STABLE, most recent from cvsup6.freebsd.org, kernel recompiled with nge added: boot OK driver nge loads with correct message ifconfig works OK route works OK when pinging some other host: an ARP packet can be sniffed on the network, but with wrong type (0000 instead of 0001 (=arp request)). does not answer pings or send packets NetBSD1.5.2: boot OK did not manage to compile and install kernel&drivers correctly to get them working on alpha Well, so much for that, I think I tried a lot. Any ideas? Debugging approaches? Information to add? Other lists to ask? I do speak C, but not too much of the alpha-kernel-dialect...
