I hope someome can relate to this, I haven't found anything about this subject I'm going to discuss now. Yesterday I rebooted one of my remote systems with the up-to-date cvsup level of that day. The reboot went fine. This was a hardware-maintenance reboot too to check that everything is still working. Like I said, the reboot was succesful. This morning I replaced my kernel with a kernel that has IPFilter in stead of IPFW. This reboot went flawlessly too. After this reboot I decided to check up some system boot messages. Just to be on the safe side and then I saw the following: /kernel: fxp0: *** DISABLING DYNAMIC STANDBY MODE IN EEPROM *** /kernel: fxp0: New EEPROM ID: 0x40a0 /kernel: fxp0: EEPROM checksum @0x3f: 0x17e3 -> 0x17e5 /kernel: fxp0: *** PLEASE REBOOT THE SYSTYM NOW FOR CURRECT OPERATION *** So, because I rebooted the machine twice the last 2 days anyway, I decided to reboot the machine. It has to be noted that no configuration and no kernel changes were made during the upcoming reboot and the reboot I had this morning. Fact of the matter is that I am waiting for 20 minutes now for my machine to come back online and I don't think it will happen. In any case I would like to know what this kernel message was about and what exactly changed.
