OK, I'm pasting in the dmesg for this Pentium 120 box. Summarizing, it's
a machine with no IDE drives, one NCR controller, one scsi main disk, one
scsi cdrom, one vga card, and the CNET controller. Has 128M of RAM. I've
been gazing at the mobo, but I can't yet spot who made it, at least not
without taking it out and looking on the flip side. Intel processor, AMI
bios.
But. I don't honestly think it's your problem, Bill. I have the same
card on my Alpha, solid as a rock, which is why I stuck the new CNET card
to replace the noname NE2000 clone it started with. This was running a 5
year old BSDi, and now I'm trying to get current on it. It doesn't hang
until *after* ifconfig has returned, maybe a second later. I have time to
hit return a couple times, get a couple of new prompts back; the DDB trace
seems to be from the shell.
I've duplicated this about 10 times now with no variation, trying little
config file changes.
I'm trying not to have to hand-copy that darn stack trace; if you can't do
without it, I guess I will have to make a null-modem cable and try remote
debugging, I sure don't want to type all that stuff in. Outside of doing
network stuff, the box seems very stable. I wonder if some module is
being loaded that I am not aware of, and that's the source of the hang.
If you guys don't trip to this, that's what I'll try next (remote
debugging), so if you want, just don't respond, I'll have to get the
soldering iron out and make the cable next.
