I've just tested 8.4-RC3 using a different Supermicro 1U box with a fresh installation of 8.4-RC3. I had problems with the installation, wouldn't boot until I used a Windows 98 FDISK to write a master boot record (no idea why; this system uses an Adaptec SATA 1.5 6-channel PCI-X board with two drives in RAID 1). Using the em0 interface there are no problems with DHCP; when I switch to the fxp0 interface the interface starts going up/down in the same manner as reported. The problem appears associated with "world", not with the kernel (running the 8.4 kernel with the 8.3 world does not have this problem). This motherboard is an X5DPL-iGM with 2 Xeon 2.8GHz CPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The other unit (an earlier board) has a Serverworks chipset with a single Xeon CPU but also with a 100Mbit Intel Pro100 Ethernet port and a 1000Mbit Intel Pro1000 Ethernet port. This unit isn't doing anything useful, so testing isn't a problem. Mike Squires mikes@siralan.org
