Hi, I'm trying to track down a mystery. On November 7th, I installed a kernel with these options (not including devices and controllers): machine "i386" cpu "I686_CPU" ident NATGATEWAY maxusers 32 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options FAILSAFE #Be conservative options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options KTRACE #kernel tracing options SYSVSHM options IPFIREWALL On December 6, the last log showed a reboot. Someone kicked out the power. On December 7, I started using sharity-light. On January 29, I started using Sharity1.07. Everything was working until February 1st. Someone from the telco was playing with our dsl line and the machine was no longer able to network properly. I restarted the machine. Everything worked fine. Later, I was no longer able to get Sharity to work. I tried upgrading to Sharity.1.08 but it wouldn't work until I recompiled the kernel with "options NFS." This is the mystery: why was sharity working before without NFS support. All that happened, based on the logs, was that there was a couple of restarts. The kernel config file's date is November 7th. The kernel's date was November 7th. Sharity's programmer says that I must've had NFS support otherwise it would not have worked. Is there anyway, with my kernel config above that limited NFS support was included that could explain how Sharity worked and then all of the sudden stopped working? TIA john.
