Hi Everyone,
This is going to look like a post in the wrong place, but I'm
systematically going through all the mailing lists looking for a
solution to my problem. You guys were next on the list... :-)
I've tried -questions and -current so far and they have helped
refine my question, but not find a solution.
I'm developing a FreeBSD system using VMWare. I have a 5.1 current
system working fine, and I build my new system from it.
The new system boots off a cd and loads a mfsroot image. It mounts
it fine and starts up. However the lnc0 network driver keeps failing
with "lnc0: Missed packet -- no revieve buffer". I've had Paul
Richards have a look to see if he can see anything out of the
ordinary, but it appears to be in working order (I believe he looks
after the lnc0 driver code). The interesting thing is lnc0 works fine
on my other VMWare session.
I'm certain that this is something to do with the install I have
created, and I'm hoping maybe you guys have seen such a thing and can
help me out. Here are the details of my install:
1) Buildworld and kernel into a new directory, as clean binaries
2) copy the entire boot directory to the cd staging area
3) Create a mfsroot file in the cd staging area
4) newfs that image with -b 4096 -f 512 and mount it
5) mtree the mfsroot with BSD.root.dist, BSD.usr.dist, BSD.var.dist,
BSD.local.dist, BSD.include.dist
6) copy the same boot dir that is in the cd staging area into the
mfsroot dir
7) copy the clean /etc to mfs root
8) copy my fstab which says:
/dev/md0 / ufs rw 1 1
(No swap)
9) copy the clean /var to mfsroot
10) copy selected bin and sbin files to allow the system to start up
This system does come up and does function, I can write to the mfsroot
once I logon, but I keep getting this lnc0: buffer error. I've missed
something subtle somewhere, but I don't know where.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
Anthony
