Hello all, This morning I was upgrading my 4.1-STABLE gateway to 4.1.1-STABLE. I followed all 'official' procedures to the letter like I've done a million times before. Everything built and installed just fine, but when I rebooted the kernel, it did not probe my first network card, ed0. However, it did probe ed1. This, of course, reeked all sorts of havoc since I use DHCP on ed0 to get hooked up to the world via @home. I rebooted and went into the configuration editor. It showed that both ed0, and ed1 devices were there and "enabled." I exit the config editor and continue the boot, and nothing--just ed1 is "seen." So, I reboot /kernel.old and it does see ed0 and ed1 but panics with the 4.1.1-STABLE world when starting mountd (I'm guessing the changes in libkvm a while back--this was a 4.1-STABLE system of about 40 days ago or so??). But, at least the 4.1-S kernel still probed and attached ed0 + ed1. To make a horrifically long story short, I ended up installing a 4.1-RELEASE world, kernel, and /etc (with the same custom config file of course) and now things are working again. So, something within the last 40 days has affected how my two NICs are probed and attached. I don't have access to the machine right now (at the same time all this crap happened my cable modem and/or line to the house has died and even though both interfaces are up I'm 'dead' until the @home people can come out to do some diagnostics) otherwise I would send dmesg output along with the kernel config., etc. However, does anybody have any ideas as to why ed1 would be probed and not ed0 even after they both show up in the visual config editor during "boot -c"? Another related question--I tried "boot -v" to see if that garnered any clues and there was so much stuff that whizzed by after that section of the boot, I couldn't use ScrollLock + PgUp anymore. How can you increase that buffer? Once I get my connectivity to the world back, I'm going to try and nail down about when things start screwing up--I'm just fishing for clues. Who else in the world is running two NE2000 clones on ed0, and ed1 with 4.1.1-STABLE? -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
