- I've had the same problem, except the messages are "esp1: cannot find
- dma controller" and "le1: failed to initialize chip", if I remember
- correctly. The Sun field engineer I talked to said it's a bad card.
- Unfortunately, because of the limited supply, Sun can't even give us a
- date when they expect to ship out the replacement. How did you get
- your replacement so fast?
-
- I hope it's not some basic incompatibility between the SS2 and the
- FSBE card. Anyone have a FSBE working in an SS2?
