I have been getting watchdog timeouts on one of my computers with FreeBSD versions greater than 5.2.1-RELEASE. It originally had an old nic (dc0) but I switched to a Netgear FA311 (sis0) but I still get watchdog timeouts. When I boot with an install cd/floppies I tell it to configure for DHCP, but in the second terminal I get some watchdog timeouts, then it puts me into the configure screen without ip address/etc filled in. When I input the values by hand it still doesn't work. The cards themselves are fine as far as I know, because they work alright in linux. Putting the nic in a different PCI slot didn't seem to help either. There was a post on freebsd-hackers, I think, that had a patch for some kernel code to fix this or a similar problem, but that didn't help.
Could this problem have anything to do with the motherboard? Should I try updating the bios? This is an x86 computer. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
