Hi Tried installing FreeBSD 7.2 on two shiny new Dell R410 servers ... The system booted up fine from the install CD and I did a network install from an FTP server. Upon rebooting, however, the network interface stopped working, and I am getting loads of error messages on the console, like: Watchdog timeout occured, resetting Unable to write CTX memory PHY write timeout The chip is a BCM5716 which according to the man page should work. An upgrade to 7.2-p3 did not help. I also tried disabling hw.bce.msi_enable and hw.bce.tso_enable. This did not help either. What puzzles me is that the FTP install went just fine. Anyone here who has experience with a Dell R410 under FreeBSD?
