The following reply was made to PR bin/26686; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "G.W.Roberts" <"mas039"@bangor.ac.uk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, lazaro@online.no Cc: Subject: Re: bin/26686: Freeze at boot from 4.3-RC4 floopies - USB conflict? Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 18:11:01 +0100 I have also had a similar problem which I've found to be caused by the ex driver causing ne2000 boards (ed0) to freeze the machine. The effect does vary; some slightly different models of ne2000 boards tolerate the ex driver, but then work at a reduced speed. Under 3.x the ex device could be disabled from the kernel configuration editor, but under 4.x it does not appear (why not?), so cannot be disabled. I have to build a new kernel (omitting the ex driver, together with other options to reduce the kernel size appropriately) strip it, compress it and copy it to the boot floppy. It would be very convenient if this problem was solved!
