You need to configure the loopback device before ifconfig'ing ed2. I think
that's the source of the "can't clear cached route" problem (you need a
route for ed2's ip address via lo0).

Where's the ed2 line?

Hmmm. You might try building a kernel w/o ie1 configured. It's set for the
same I/O address as ed2, and it might be clobbering your ethernet card.

Also, are you sure it's configured for IRQ 10? The stray IRQ 7 is weird.

Take care,
