Hoi Hardware, I own a SOYO SY-30F2 mainboard (4xpci, 2xvesa, all 486's) with a NCR 53C810 on the PCI bus. Until a week ago that was the only device on the PCI bus. A week ago I added a 'Diamond Stealth 64 video 2001' to my system. Pretty cool video card, but not for me. X crashes my system (as in immediate reboot). Needless to say Descent^H^H^H^H^H^H^HMS-DOS runs fine :( I have no MS Windows to try it with. In the shop they told me that my mainboard has trouble handling two PCI busmastering devices and that I need a new mainboard if I want to run a FreeBSD on it. Any truth in that? boot -v reveals that both the SCSI and the VGA card use int# a. and occupy the same memory address. This is regardless of the settings I do in the bios (Award modular bios). Any suggestions? Groetjes, Kees Jan PS. I tried to attach my dmesg output to this mail, but pegasus mail is not a useful mailer. Sorry if it causes problems. I'll mail dmesg to anyone who asks personally.
