Kernel panics on 'halt -p' always when network cable is connected. When network cable is plugged out, there is no panic at all and the laptop correctly turns itself off. Today I have discovered (thanks to pav@FreeBSD.org), that setting > ifconfig re0 -txcsum -rxcsum solves most of my problems. cvsup works ok, no kernel panic on 'halt -p' even when the network cable is plugged in. Of course it does not solve "rarely hangs at boot", because the setting is applied after boot. I have not tested the "-txcsum -rxcsum" for long time, just for a few hours. Should I divide this PR (each subproblem into separate PR)? Other similar problems found: o PR kern/76551 - re0: watchdog timeout problem o http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2004/msg07324.html - problem with checksum offloading on re o http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2004/msg20316.html - re0 device txcsum issue Would be great if this could be fixed before 5.4R. -- Marian Cerny Jabber: jojo@njs.netlab.cz
