Freebsd 5.3-RELEASE crashing due to bge problem(?)

[Imri Zvik]

Hi,

One of my Dell Poweredge 1750 machines crashed.

I see the following line in /var/log/messages right before the crash:

Apr 10 08:45:05 dana kernel: bge0: discard frame w/o packet header

I have a dump of the crash, but unfortunately, the kernel was not compiled with debugging symbols, so this is what I do have:

Here is uname -a output:
FreeBSD dana.xxxx 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar 16 11:55:55 IST 2005     root at dana.xxxx:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/IGLD  i386

Doing some searching in google, made me stumble upon this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2004-December/009609.html

Could they be related?


Thanks,
