Hmm. Can you check your /etc/syslog.conf? There should be a line similar to: kern.debug /var/log/messages to capture kernel output. I'm a little hesitant to believe that there's no error output; maybe it isn't configured or syslogd isn't running. The other thing is that you're running 100mb/s; the previous lockups I've seen with this board were for 10mb/s. Can you send me a dmesg + ifconfig output? -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
