iI have a RealTek 8169S which works just fine under 5.3-RELEASE. I've been experimenting with 6.0-RC1 booting from CD. It appears to come up with no difficulty, but ping fails, and shortly thereafter, I get "re0: watchdog timeout" in my messages. Although I can't ping other machines and other machines can't ping me, "arp -a" shows the MAC address of other machines on the ethernet segment, and arp on the other machines I tried to ping shows the MAC address of the 6.0 machine. I see the RCS version has gone from 1.28.2.5 in 5.3-RELEASE to 1.46.2.7 in 6.0-RC1, and the changes look numerous but not very big. Should I try compiling the 1.28.2.5 version into a 6.0 kernel and seeing what happens? -- George Mitchell
