A normally extremely stable machine running FreeBSD has become rather unstable after upgrading to the 4.7 release. By unstable I mean disappearing off the network suddenly, and having console non-responsive to anything but a nice ctl-alt-del reboot. The log files only show one thing that may be of issue: > Oct 25 01:05:48 x-wing /kernel: arplookup 207.8.132.194 failed: host > is not on local network > Oct 25 01:36:27 x-wing /kernel: arplookup 207.8.132.194 failed: host > is not on local network Right before the machine disappears, these messages start repeating rather rapidly to the tune of one about ever 5 seconds. This behavior was not seen in any of the earlier FreeBSD releases. The said IP address is the IP for the nameserver of the cluster group, which is responding just fine to requests. A quick search of the archives reveals nothing thats of any help to me so... Have I somehow misconfigured my upgrade, and if so any suggestions on what to fix or where to begin looking? Or have I stumbled upon a legit bug? Machine Info: SMC EtherPowerII nic AMD Athalon 1600+ 512 MB of RAM If more information is needed, it can be provided. Any and all help would be appreciated. >---------------------------------------------------------------< Dan Kalowsky "Tonight I think I'll walk alone, http://www.deadmime.org/~dank I'll find myself as I go home" dank-nom@aps-deadmime.org - "Temptation", kalowsky@php.net New Order To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
