Hi 

I cvsup'ed the latest source on Saturday night at 9pm as I do every night onto
my dev box this was then extracted in to my source tree and a new world built
and new kernels for all my systems.

On Sunday I performed a "make installkernel" followed by a "make installworld"
and finally a mergemaster. This worked fine in my "gate" system and it is now
running 

# uname -a
FreeBSD gate.lan.raffles-it.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Sat Apr  5 02:02:36 BST 2003     root@dev.lan.raffles-it.com:/usr/build/obj.stable/usr/build/src.stable/sys/GATE  i386

and all is working fine

when I performed the same steps on my "dev" box all appeared to be OK until I
rebooted when it failed to probe correctly my network card. Below is the
output of my "/var/log/messages file for the old 4.7 working kernel followed
closely by the output from the 4.8 kernel.

4.7

Apr  6 23:00:39 dev /kernel: isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0

Not being someone that is terribly up with the inner workings of the kernel,
can any one provide any guidance as to where to look. I have looked through
/usr/src/UPDATING and LINT and cannot see any changes like the inclusion of
"miibus" that may be required. I know this problem appeared a while back for
me and it took about a week to ten days of cvsupping and rebuilding kernels
before it all magically started working again.

Any one know what might of changed?

Thanks for any assistance as I have 4 machines with the exact same network
card that I would like to upgrade some time soon.

David.
