This morning I've tried building a kernel without the TCP_OFFLOAD option. When booting the new system, I see this in dmesg: xn0: <Virtual Network Interface> at device/vif/0 on xenbusb_front0 xn0: Ethernet address: 00:16:3e:00:00:30 xn0: backend features: feature-sg feature-gso-tcp4 xn_txeof: WARNING: response is -1! Ifconfig -v xn0 looks like: xn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=403<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LRO> Pings work, ftp works (I was able to get the src.txz file off of ftp.freebsd.org to build the kernel) ssh does not work (handshaking fails) but I can login via telnet. However, just about anything that requires lots of output gets a bit clobbered. Are there any other kernel/sysctl parameters I should be disabling? It is almost working, but I need help to know if this is a netfront or a netback issue. If it is a NetBSD issue I'll move the discussion over to port-xen@netbsd.orghelp
