Hello,
I am (was) running FreeBSD 3.4 on my PC here and I figured it was time
to upgrade, one way or another, to 4.3. I tried one way and others, eg.
new install, upgrade, but whenever I do something with 4.X I end up
getting a kernel panic the moment ep finds my 3c509b card:
ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPO Etherlink III> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0
ep0: Ethernet address 00:10:4b:01:63:67
ifmedia_set: no match for 0x25/0xffffffff
panic: ifmedia_set
From the mail archives I read I should take this route:
3.4->3.5-stable->4.1.1R->4.3R and the above is what happens after I
reboot after installkernel (3.5->4.1.1). It's also what happened when I
tried to install 4.2 from floppies.
I've also read I need to disable PnP on the card which I also have done
(if not it finds it at irq 5). I've also disabled anything that was on
0x300 so I wouldn't get any conflicts.
Right now I am in the mood for completely disabling the card altogether
as I don't know anymore.
In 3.5-stable the card shows up like this:
1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300
ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa
ep0: utp[*AUI*] address 00:10:4b:01:63:67
Who knows more than me and would be willing to help me out?
Thanks much in advance,
Michel
