I have a machine that has two different interfaces (xl for the external and fxp for the LAN). After rebuilding the kernel after 8/9/02, I experienced kernel panic -- but only as as result of passing data through the fxp interface. It stayed stable until I ssh'ed into the router, which caused almost immediate panic. No connections (that were automatically opened by startup scripts) to the outside world via xl caused this problem. This is consistent with the idea that the fxp driver is borked somehow. The revision date in the CVS tag seems to support this. * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c,v 1.110.2.24 2002/08/09 02:04:20 luigi Exp $ Just my observerations, it may be incorrect. I haven't tested the patch referenced, I'm wary of more downtime. -- Chris Original message from Mike Tancsa: > > Yes, I do not get those reproducible panics either.
