We have recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a Pentium 133
system to use as a web server. The server has an Intel
Etherexpress 16 card in it.
All seemed fine until we started to test Apache by viewing
web pages on that system. On occasion the system would seem
to stop serving pages (for a fraction of a second) and then
printout the following message:
/kernel: ix0: device timeout
Although the system is new I have to admit that the Intel card
is from an older system. The card worked fine in the previous
system (not running freeBSD).
Has anyone experienced this?
Is there a Kernel configuration for resolving this or should the
card be changed (mabe upgraded to a newer card or another card
totally)?
Any words of wisdom are welcomed.
Thanks.
-Ken
