D-Link device ste tx underrun
Hi there, I just installed a new D-Link DFE-550TX NIC on my machine running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p2. I am seeing the following errors in the log file: Mar 23 15:01:05 pakastelohi /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 90 Mar 23 15:01:05 pakastelohi /kernel: ste0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 60 bytes Mar 23 18:40:17 pakastelohi /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 90 Mar 23 18:40:17 pakastelohi /kernel: ste0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes A Google search showed that at least one other person has reported what looks like the same problem, but I have been unable to locate a cause or fix. Suggestions are appreciated. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=freebsd+ste+%22tx+underrun%22&hl=en&se lm=3BCAF3D8.70B95C82%40gmx.net&rnum=1 Thanks, --Lucky To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
LINT CPU features table
[This inquiry found no takers on -questions, so I am trying it on -hackers] I found the list of CPU options in LINT to be not very accessible. What would be considerably more useful, perhaps in addition to the information in LINT, would be a table of CPU's, with a checkbox for each CPU feature that should/could be enabled for this particular CPU. Is anybody here aware of such a table? If not, is anybody here able to perhaps create such a table and add it to the Handbook? I believe it would be of substantial help to the user. "OK, I have an AMD K6-333". [User looks down the "AMD K6" row of the table]. "I can turn on feature L, M, and Y".

RE: LINT CPU features table
Let me turn my original inquiry into an offer: I volunteer to write the section for the Handbook or other documentation detailing the various CPU options in LINT if somebody who fully understands what these options do is willing to spend 30 minutes on the phone with me answering questions about the options. Any takers? Thanks, --Lucky To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
FreeBSD problem: $50 reward.
Fifty bucks to the person that is first to help me solve this problem. I have a brand new Asus A7V333 motherboard with the latest BIOS version 1007. I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.6 via floppies onto a brand new Western Digital WD1200AB 120GB IDE drive. I have installed FreeBSD many times before going back to FreeBSD 2.x. The partition editor and disklabel only see 8056MB of my 120GB drive. In other words, I am being stopped by the 8.4GB barrier. Obviously, Asus' new motherboard supports IDE drives larger than 8.4GB. Following some suggestions, I wrote a slice and disklabels to the drive at 8.4GB. This did not help. The drive is still only being recognized at 8.4GB. Any suggestions how to overcome the problem are appreciated. I need to very badly copy some data from a FireWire drive with FAT32 partitions onto the new FreeBSD installation before 6 AM PDT.
