It happens during startup right | after setting the hostname, right before it would normally bring up the | interface I believe. Could you try: http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/bge_ipmi_2.patch | This is on four different servers, all Supermicro motherboards (H8DAR | and H8DAE) based on the Broadcom BCM5704 chip. | | Here is the pciconf -lv: | | bge0@pci2:3:0: class=0x020000 card=0x164815d9 chip=0x164814e4 rev=0x10 | hdr=0x00 | vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' | device = 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter' | class = network | subclass = ethernet | bge1@pci2:3:1: class=0x020000 card=0x164815d9 chip=0x164814e4 rev=0x10 | hdr=0x00 | vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' | device = 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter' | class = network | subclass = Ethernet | | Any ideas? If you need any more information or have other patches I can | test for you, let me know! Try this version. If this has trouble we can try to add some debug stuff to it. Thanks, Doug A.
