X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 12:48:39 -0000 Hello! Is anybody having stability problems with if_re under FreeBSD 6.3-stable? I know about PR kern/118719[1] but it doesn't look like the problem I'm having - at least my machine doesn't panic. My machine[2] runs FreeBSD 6.3-stable / amd64: root@kg-vm# uname -a FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #1: Sun Jan 27 02:10:15 CET 2008 root@kg-vm.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP amd64 The machine has an if_re interface: root@kg-vm# pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 network subclass = VGA re0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81aa1043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC' class = network It looks like the interface works, because it gets the ip address and other dhcp parameters right. But when I try to pass traffic over it, trsffic often just stops. Examples: ping by ip address, csup'ing the ports. also ssh connections to the machine randomly hangs, or closes. Ouch! The machine just rebooted. Perhaps this is kern/118719 after all. Anything I can do to diagnose this problem further? FWIW, I have FreeBSD 7.0 (RELENG_7) installed on another slice and that works nicely.
