The 4.3 Alpha port is quite fragile with respect to PCI cards with bridges and possibly even multifunction cards. We're also trying to jam hose into a 32 bit space, and it sometimes doesn't fit. You mentioned a dual 53c875- is your root disk connected to this? Is nothing connected to it? I would suggest, to just get going, to pull all but the QLogic and a network card out and install on a disk hung off the QLogic. If you can. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
