The machine has been rock solid with FreeBSD for years. It's been cvsupped and rebuilt within the past two months. Today, I tried to configure a NIC for DHCP and saw a bunch of unaligned access errors when I rebooted. The machine came up, but ifconfig showed the NIC as UP with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. I'm not at the machine right now (and have no Internet access there until I get DHCP working), so I can't simply cut-and-paste the errors. I found lots of references to this sort of error while searching online, but they're all a year or three old -- nothing later than Oct 2002. The latest message was about this problem being fixed. Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas about a solution? Thanks, all... -- Michael A. Smith Programmer at Large
