I can easily cause my em0 to stop working with a 5.1 kernel, by running find on a large filesystem across ssh. This seems to be fixed in current, I could not reproduce it with a 5.2-BETA kernel ( no changes in world ). The mtu size of 9014 may have something to do with the breakage :). -- Sten Spans There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[snip] this is a thinkpad t40p. 4.9-release cdrom boots through to em0 media just fine, and i just retested that assertion without moving any wires etc. I have seen this on the T40p. The solution is to disable the cardbus support. I have detailed my experience with this laptop at http://www.scode.org/freebsdt40p.html The relevant part is this: The gigabit ethernet interface - em0 - worked perfectly during installation. When I booted the resulting system however, it no longer worked. The driver failed to load properly during boot with an error regarding the EEPROM checksum being invalid. I found this post which indicated the em0 driver broke support on the X31 somewhere between 5.0-RELEASE and 5.1-RELEASE. I tried using the old 5.0 driver in 5.1, aswell as removing the checksum check in the 5.1 driver. No luck. I eventually figured out that the pcmcia support seemed to break just about everything, including the em driver. When the cardbus bridge (cdb) was commented out in the kernel configuration, em0 suddenly worked perfectly. So basically, a good idea in general is to strip down unused stuff in the kernel configuration, but specifically the cardbus bridge.
