I have a system whose ethernet card is at ISA irq 9, port 0x280, iomem

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.

Two things to try, both of which prolly wont work :)

 - IRQ9 is the same as IRQ2 so try that in /boot/device.hints

That resulted in an unbootable system:

ed0 at port 0x280-0x27f irq 2 on isa0
panic: inthand_add: Can't initialize ICU

Putting in a fresh device.hints (changing only the irq for ed0) makes for a bootable system, but I no longer see the "ed0 failed to probe" message. FreeBSD 4.7 continues to use the card with no problem.

- set the card at a different IRQ (5 is good) adjust /boot/device.hints
accordingly.

Not an option, this is a jumperless card and the utility disk is long forgotten. Time to cannibalize my other machine.

Let me know if you still have probs...I've got one of these ed0 cards
lying around somewhere....

Thanks for the tips. I'll file a pr if I manage to understand the problem.
