I came up from a 5.1-CURRENT level from around October, 2003. Both are Tyan dual AMD processor systems with built in XL class ethernet cardss.

I'm going nowhere with this server box if I cannot get it back on the wire. Just for future reference, boot -v at the loader prompt will get you more verbose output which is useful for diagnosing problems like this. You might want to hook up a serial console to the machine and make the output available so that a better idea of what's going on can be had. Now for your network card problem, try kldload'ing /boot/kernel/if_xl.ko and see if the device shows up in ifconfig. If it does, you probably forgot to compile it statically in your kernel. If it doesn't, let us know. Regards, Andy > Andre Guibert de Bruet | Enterprise Software Consultant > > Silicon Landmark, LLC. | http://siliconlandmark.com/ >
