I have a running 4.9 release + patches ( i.e 4.9 stable) working perfect. When Updated to 5.1 release + patches I have real problems with watchdog timeout resets on my intel nic:s. Same hardware, but just different OpenBSD version. I have tried a bunch of kernels from Stuart Henderson (Broken after 4.9.....). I have also recompiled the 5.1 stable kernel with most versions of the if_em.c driver. I have compiled and tried the following... (note that the userland was 5.1 stable with all kernel tests) bsd-5.1-stable bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.249 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.250 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.251 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.252 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.253 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.254 bsd-5.1-stable_plus_if_em.c-1.263 Watchdog timeout resets on all versions..... NOTE that the Watchdog timeout reset appears in version 1.249 of if_em.c as well. And that version is default in 4.9 stable which works fantastic. So if I haven't done anything totally wrong it must be related to something else in the kernel. So.... my nic hardware and the kvm bios is the same. And an if_em.c version that works in 4.9 is tried. ???????? I can see above that you got rid of the problem by testing the same version as me.. But you use AMD and I use i386. Also... I have a firewall with 2 nic:s. Often ONE nic works but the other gives watchdog timeout resets and wont work. Any clues? Tnx Per-Olov
