The ethernet parts were not fully supported by the fxp driver in 4.8, so I was testing 4.10 to see if they were with that version of the OS. I've replace the kernel.gz with a 4.10 version, and the mfsroot.gz is built using 4.10 objects. If I try to boot it, this is what I get: ... md0: Preloaded mfs_root "/mfsroot> 50331648 bytes at 0xc02b2794 md1: malloc disk ... sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 in isa0 sio0: type 16550A, console sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A vga0: at port 0x3b0-0x3bb iomem 0xb0000-0xb7ffff on isa0 ad0: 30MB [490/4/32] at ata0-master PI01 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c And then nothing. Nada. Zip. No kernel panic message, no prompt, nothing. Which leaves me in a bit of a pickle as to what to try. If I use a 4.10 kernel with a 4.8 mfsroot.gz, it boots, but tells me that proc is out of sync with the kernel. Help?! TIA rip
