I have two different cards on my Netfinity 5000 server, a pci Netgear FA311 (showing up as a NatSemi (sis0), and the onboard network card which seems to have an AMD chipset (pcn0). If I have the onboard ethernet card enabled at all and have an active cable connected to it and restart the computer it comes up on ukphy0, turns the pci error light on and I get no internet access which it later makes the computer reboot automatically without any warning. If I disable that card and put in a PCI Netgear card, have also tried other cards such as Intel or IBM cards, once in a while it will boot normally but every once in a while it will get hung up on the ukphy0 as well, giving me the same problem as the onboard network and reboot itself. At first I thought it was an IRQ problem but all of my devices now have individual IRQ's set in the bios and I'm still having this problem. I'm afraid to reboot this thing because I'm afraid it won't be coming back up. Below are from my dmesg, the first is when I have my onboard ethernet enabled and the second is when I have the netgear installed. Any help would be much appreciated on what to do with this problem. By the way....I'm running on FreeBSD 4.6.2 but also have this problem running 4.7, I it also usually hangs on the driver initialization during installation of the os.
