The only changes I made to the kernel config were to remove support for scsi devices since the system has none. So the kernel config is basically the generic. As a test I ran boot /kernel.old from the loader prompt but recieved the same dmesg output as well as vx1 not being found. The output of "ifconfig vx1 up" is: ifconfig: interface vx1 does not exist any ideas? Volker Kindermann wrote:> Yes i386.

I expected something like (this is from my 5.0 machine): xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xb800-0xb87f mem 0xe0000000-0xe000007f irq 10 at device 10.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:02:a0:db:09 miibus0: on xl0 xlphy0: <3c905C 10/100 internal PHY> on miibus0 xlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto don't you get such sort of thing? Of course not with xl0 but with vx0 and vx1 if you type "dmesg"? What is the content of the file /var/log/dmesg.today? Does "ifconfig vx1 up" works? -volker --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.
