[Re-posted from -hardware, perhaps someone here has some insight] I have an Intel blade server (just OEM'd IBM Bladecenter) with SBXL52 blades running FreeBSD 5.2.1. The story under 5.2.1 was that either the keyboard would be active or the network would be active but not both at the same time (if I booted with ACPI disabled the keyboard worked but not network, booting with ACPI got the network back but no keyboard). To install I had to do a scripted sysinstall over PXE boot which worked. Now I'd like to run FreeBSD 5.3, I got it to install as an upgrade of 5.2.1, when I boot up with ACPI enabled I can access the keyboard and the network interfaces appear in ifconfig but will not respond to any traffic. If I boot with ACPI disabled I can use the keyboard but the network interfaces will not appear in an ifconfig. Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems like something minor, like I said the interfaces come up I can ping them from the blade itself but not from outside it (nor can the blade ping out). These are the built in bge interfaces. Thanks, Paul
