[FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p3] Regression with realtek-re-kmod
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2024 15:53:53 UTC
Hello, I use a /diskless/ workstation that ran FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p0 for a while without trouble. Motherboard contains two ethernet adapters : re0 and em0. I'm unable to boot with em0 (why ? em0 can obtain an IP address but PXE doesn't load binaries on tftp server...). Thus, system is configured to use re0. This morning, I have upgraded my packages as I have to upgrade firefox. Thus, I have launched : - pkg upgrade - freebsd-update fetch - freebsd-update install My boot/loader.conf contains: pythagore:[/boot] > cat loader.conf coretemp_load="YES" hw.re.max_rx_mbuf_sz="2048" #if_re_load="YES" #if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko" cpuctl_load="YES" cuse_load="YES" tmpfs_load="YES" pythagore:[/boot] > If I use kernel re driver, system randomly hangs (re0 stops after some days) but it boots. Now, if I uncomment if_re_load and if_re_name, kernel loads if_re module, starts its initialization and hangs just after "starting syslog". System cannot be pinged from another station (host is down). Does someone use realtek-re-kmod with a recent kernel in this configuration ? Best regards, JB
