OK, I have some more data about these SLIP related crashes that I've been
happening. Here is what I've been doing to start SLIP sessions:
1) "cu -l /dev/cua01 -s 19200"
2) Dial up to Cisco terminal server, start SLIP; the terminal
server gives me an IP address (chosen based on what line I've
gotten in my hunt group).
3) Use "~^Z" to suspend cu.
4) "slattach -h -s 19200 /dev/cua01"
5) "ifconfig sl0 <my-ip-address>"
6) "route add default <my-default-router-address>"
7) "telnet <some-host>"
At this point, the machine spontaneously reboots. No panic or anything,
just a reboot - as if the CPU has taken a double-fault or something else
that would shut it down.
This even happens if I do "telnet localhost" in step #7 (but this may be
because a DNS lookup is being attempted across the SLIP interface).
Now, I *can* get this to work; between step #5 and step #6, I have to
do "route add <my-network-number> <my-slip-address> 0"; I get a warning
message that says "old usage of trailing 0; assuming route to if", but
that was what I wanted anyway. *Then* I can use the network, and th
machine does not crash.
What changed to make this happen? I am using the -current version of 2.0,
which I am sup'ing from freefall. I first noticed this behavior in a kernel
I sup'ped some time around the first or second week of December.
Thanks,
--Pat.
