> upgraded from 16K to 24K of RAM at the same time and kernel memory 24K?!?! Wow! How'd you get the kernel that small? :) I ran into a lot of PCI 486 boards that had "issues". Keep in mind that the PCI spec was fairly incomplete and open to the manufacturer's interpretation as to how it should work. I have a PCI 486 running as a little internal web server that bogged down incredibly when I put a Diamond PCI video card in it -- went back to the old ISA Trident 8900, and things were back to normal. There may be some BIOS config settings in there that may help - bus priority/speed, IRQ designations, etc... Depends on the board. I'll bet you a shiny new penny (you pay for postage) that a cheap 75MHz Pentium board would reverse the problem. My fxp cards blow the socks off the NE2K's that I replaced... --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
