Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, This is actually an adendum to the gated problem I posted not too long ago. When the system crashes, after the reboot, it does not see 6 of the 8 ports on a digiboard pc8 card. I've configured it as described in the SIO(4) documentation for a BOCA board with a shared IRQ, flags 0x905. When this happends, if I do a manual reboot (sync;sync;sync;reboot), the system comes backup correctly with all serial ports visible. Could there be a timing problem in the driver somewhere? ----- Andrew Webster DATARADIO, Inc. Network Manager http://www.dataradio.com Special Projects awebster@dataradio.com
