The following reply was made to PR kern/72263; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jonas Nagel <fireball@zerouptime.ch> To: Brooks Davis <brooks@one-eyed-alien.net> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/72263: gifconfig output corruption Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 23:38:41 +0200 > This sort of error is usually a symptom of your userland and kernel > being out of sync. Hrm. Cannot imagine that as I usually do installkernel/installworld/mergemaster at the same time before booting once (minor version/fixes upgrade), because I don't want to make exactly this stuff happen (I could forget to do the installworld, yadda yadda...). > This is the expected output from that command. The configuration lines > do not contain the string gif so the grep won't match them... Um, right, my fault. But that is not the issue though: got# ifconfig gif0 gif0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 got# ifconfig gif1 gif1: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 > This sounds like some sort of memory corruption.

Well what I can do anyway; do the upgrade to RELEASE-p2 and then reinstall everything again during the process and make sure that I don't miss anything during the upgrade (in case I really did forget the installworld or something). And then I'd report back with a new pr, if this would happen again. In meantime I guess you should close the pr, doing this stressed little bulky bugreporting system a favour, not having to list this report anymore (since this could take quite a while and finally might forget about it, if it does not repeat). Thanks for your quick response anyway; I'm impressed. -- Jonas Nagel <fireball@zerouptime.ch>
