All our servers are connected using the first nic - em0. No problem with syslogd timeout etc during boot up. We did encounter problem though, trying to unplumb em1 by ifconfig em1 destroy. Checking in progress. FYI Regards, SK "MFW" , .net> cc: , , "Erwin Lansing" , 05/27/2003 12:41 Subject: Re: Spooky em INTEL PRO 1000 driver? AM Please respond to mwilliams Christoffer, I have a similar problem with another driver. I am assuming that you have the em driver compiled in your Kernel (I think its in GENERIC in 4.8). Here is what I did to combat the similar problem. Take the ifconfig_em(x) and defaultrouter out of the rc.conf. Make a simple if_up.sh script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to bring up your interfaces and bring up your default route. I run a sleep command in mine for 5 seconds to give other services time to load before I bring up the interfaces. Syslog should come up regardless of network services, unless you are doing remote syslog. Either way, the above worked for me. If that doesn't work, check to make sure you have the em driver compiled in your Kernel. Sounds like its trying to kldload the em driver, therefore making your services not start in the process (no network activity). If it is loading the module at boot up, then make the above script, but load the module at the top. Its all the same. Just an idea. Not saying it the right thing to do, but its one that worked for me.
