Summary: I'm getting silo overflows. I shouldn't be.
My home PC has recently joined my ever-growing collection of happy FreeBSD
boxes, with Linux banished to the backup tapes. Everything's groovy as I
expected, except I'm getting a whole slew of:
Sep 3 21:29:55 clover /kernel: sio2: 4 more silo overflows (total 448)
when using SLIP (dialing with dip). I'm using a 16550A:
Sep 3 20:15:40 clover /kernel: sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 4 on isa
Sep 3 20:15:41 clover /kernel: sio2: type 16550A
and the box is a 486 DX-2/66.
I'm missing a clue somewhere, I think. Can anybody help me out?
TIA,
Ian.
