Hey i would like some help please with freeBSD 5.
It seams that everytime i add a Plug & play ISA ne2000 compatable NIC into the system it kernel panics.
And something with the ICU!
This machine is a Pentuim Pro 200mhz 32mb Ram 6,4Gb HDD.
I know however that it is not machine based as ive tried this on a P3 machine too!
Heard somewhere that it is a bug?
PLZ help
Kernel Panic
It may be a kernel module conflict, or rather, the fact that the network card is compiled into the kernel as opposed to being a module and is conflicting with other hardware.
What happens if you move the network card to another slot and try rebooting ?
If your really brave, try recompile the kernel and check how your nec card is being intialised - via the kernel or via a module.
Not for the fient hearted !
Alternatively, get another el-cheapo network card.

Um well ive tried moving the NIC to a dif slot but not luck.
Ive even tried differant types of Ne2000 compat plug&play ISA cards but all give this error? :<
As for recompiling the kernel , to scarde to screw up my gateway to the internet.
O ' and as for Suse thats fine. But im looking for a dedicated server enviroment.
Ill use suse for my workstations not servers.
