alienware m15x network problem (duplicate sorry)

Wed May 14 02:40:31 UTC 2008

There seems to have a problem for me to send email to the mailing-list. This is my last try 

Hi I installed FreeBSD 7.0 on my new laptop (Alienware m15x). I currently have no network working. it sees the device (bge0) but does not seems to be able to attach to it.

I tried disabling the acpi first (and safe mode too), but when I do so the boot sequence crashes asking for the mountroot.

I found someone with similar ( I think ) problem with an ACER laptop. He included that into his loader.conf

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
hw.pci4.0.INTA.irq="18"

since disabling the acpi is no good for my laptop, I tried to add this to my load.conf

hw.pci8.0.INTA.irq=18

but doesn't seem to work.

here seems to be the interesting part of my dmesg output:

bge0: irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci8
bge0: 0x10000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffffffffffff).
bge0: couldn't map memory
device_attach: bge0 attach returned 6

here is my dmesg output:
