Been having problems with an Adaptec 2930U2 card in my machine at the house. Naturally, it works fine with Win95. The problem has been shown to be something peculiar to my motherboard after looking at many test scenarios over the past several days. Basically, there's no interrupt activity corresponding to the 2930U2 that either Linux or FreeBSD can see. This results in an infinite timeout/reset loop during driver initialization. While I'm still curious as to what the exact problem is, I have no expectation that the answer is forthcoming anytime soon if at all. Informed speculation is welcome: I *would* like to know how Win95 is able to work with my system when my OS of choice cannot. The motherboard is a bottom-feeder special (M537 VXPro). Time to go shopping for a new motherboard, and maybe spend a few more bucks this time :-). -- Bob Tracy rct@wlk.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
