The problem was that my ethernet adapter that is on my MB started flipping out. Depending on the amount of traffic (and it would not take much) the system would soon become unuseable and need a reboot. To the order of over 12 times in a 8 hour period. Basically you would start seeing messages like: fxp0: SCB timeout on the console. Eventually you would get: fxp0: device timeout The motherboard is both an i815EEAAL and an i815EEA2. On the May 8th 4.3-stable the device identifies as: fxp0: On the May 25th 4.3-stable it identifies as: May 29 06:14:46 kamidake /kernel: fxp0: port 0xdf00-0xdf3f mem \ 0xff8fe000-0xff8fefff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci1 /kernel: inphy0: on miibus0 People I know have things like the intel i810E mb have no problems. Theirs identifies as: fxp0: port 0xdf00-0xdf3f mem \ 0xff700000-0xff7fffff,0xff8fe000-0xff8fefff irq 10 at device \ 1.0 on pci1 inphy0: on miibus0 So it looks like support for the i82562ET vs. the i82555 is broken in some fashion under 4.3-stable. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations, besides "do not use those MB's". (And yes I have miibus defined.. otherwise I would never have gotten that "inphy0" line.) --Scanner (scanner@apricot.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
