Hi guys, I am getting a Intel Xeon based EMT64 server as a gateway that may in the future do some VPN, I wondered if the EMT64 servers could run FAST_IPSEC under AMD64 FreeBSD. With these options below compiled into the kernel I was able to boot FreeBSD with no panics if I booted into single user mode and then just did 'exit' to go back to regular boot, otherwise it would panic as if it was an AMD64 CPU. device crypto device cryptodev options FAST_IPSEC I read on one post earlier back that this problem with AMD64 and FAST_IPSEC isn't with the code but with a bug in the AMD64 CPU so I figured maybe such a bug doesn't exist on Intels EMT64. Has any one else tried this? I was wondering if I would have more luck if I tried 6.0 Otherwise might put i386 FreeBSD on instead or test with regular 'options IPSEC', but its a shame I can't get that extra bit of speed out of the machine running AMD64. Cheers, Mike
