I am in the process of installing FreeBSD 4.7 on an HP Proliant DL380 G3. At the moment I am blocked by the fact that the kernel does not recognise the network card (or rather, does not load the bge driver).
It is a Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet adapter. (In fact there are two).
When I run 'pciconf -lv' it displays the following output
(not cut&paste)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0:class=[omitted] vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet' class = network subclass = ethernet
and same again more or less for the second adapter at none5. And when I run ifconfig -a, they are not present.
The GENERIC kernel doesn't load the driver, and the bge driver is included. I rebuilt a kernel stripping out all the other network adapters and still it does not correctly sense the card. How can I force FreeBSD to recognize the adapters?
A second problem, less urgent, is that the machine has 5Gb of RAM, and at boot time the kernel says
memory above 4Gb ignored
While configuring the new kernel file I reviewed everything in LINT but I didn't see anything obvious. Is it possible to get 4.7 to recognize >4Gb or is this something that can only be done on a more recent version, e.g., 4.8 or 5.0?
Thanks for any clues I can use, David
