ISA probe failure (ed0)

[Fred Condo]

I have a system whose ethernet card is at ISA irq 9, port 0x280, iomem 0xd8000. FreeBSD 4.7-R correctly detects and uses this card with those settings; FreeBSD 5.0-DP2 does not. Please forgive my newbosity; this is the first time I have installed -CURRENT on anything (except as a stunt). However, a search of the archives did not turn up anything that seemed relevant.

Under verbose booting, the kernel says:
ed0 failed to probe at port 0x280-0x29f iomem 0xd8000 irq 9 on isa0

I have changed /boot/device.hints to reflect the change from irq 11 to 9. This hardware has always been a little weird, I guess because it is an HP Pavilion of about 1998 vintage. This is my "thrasher" machine for testing weird configurations on, so I'm not at all astonished that it doesn't work right.

Anyway, any hints from those far more clued than I in the ways of 5.0, will of course be greatly appreciated. If need be, I can swap cards with another junker machine, but I suspect it is an ed(4) card, as well (I would have to pull that machine out of the junk closet and open it up to be sure :).
