Hello,

Hardware: Sokeris Net4801
I boot using PXE and it hangs at the end.
Here some lines of the boot:

   FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan  4 15:31:04 UTC 2006
   [ ... ]
   sis0: <NatSemi DP8381[56] 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe100-0xe1ff mem 0xa0000000-0xa0000fff irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci0
   sis0: Silicon Revision: DP83816A
   [ ... ]
   Sending DHCP Discover packet from interface sis0 (00:00:24:c4:ee:c4)
   ...
   DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255

Here it hangs! Next step would be to mount / using NFS.

Another element: as soon as my kernel recognizes "sis0 ... DP83816A",
the link on my Ethernet switch turns off.

Is it a problem of the 'sis' driver?
How to fix?

Thanks,
