It's got an Intel "Saturn" chipset which supports 3 PCI and 4 ISA slots. It's got on board SCSI (ncr), with 2*IDE (disabled in bios). I'm using 1 * seagate ST3600N, 1 * ST 410800N and 1 * DEC RRD43 scsi devices. 1 * Virge S3 PCI video card a few install problems to note: If i boot the system, it occasionally will crash when detecting the CDROM, with "Not Ready". thud If i boot the system with a ISA 3COM 3c509 Etherlink III card, i'm unable to initialise the network (or get any link lights). I quickly gave up on the ISA card as i didn't want to muck around with dos/software. I put in a 3c590 Ethernetlink III PCI card. The system boots as far as detecting the card at which point i get something like: vga0 on irq 255 ep0 on irq0 the system then hangs. i tried a 2nd 3c590 card - same problem. i then tried a 3c595 10/100 PCI card - same problem. is this a known bug/work around ? i haven't yet tried to muck around with 3com's config files etc, as this would involve booting dos on the machine which is a pain. regards, -jason >How-To-Repeat: i've repeated the above problem 3-4 times to ensure it wasn't a one off but unless you have similar hardware.. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
