I previously reported that these were gone, but now that I put another card in the box (a dual port intel ethernet), they're back. I know I've been told that its a bios configuration problem, however I don't get stray interrupts if I pop a FreeBSD disk on the exact same hardware. So why is it a misconfiguration in DFLY but not in FreeBSD? DT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
