Hello, I am really sorry to bother here. Being so frustrated and having been searched all possible literatures, I have to turn to this list at my last try. I have two network interfaces fxp0 and de0 on my machine. I used to use 2.2.6. Both cards worked fine. I cvsuped RELENG_3 and complied it sucessfully. However, after I configured rc.conf, compiled the kernel, reboot the machine, it died at the point: Doing networking initial work:hostname. After it happend several times, I commented out the ifconfig command in rc.network. The machine could boot then. I even had X-windows running. I tried to manually configure my network cards by typing: ifconfig lo0 inet * ifconfig de0 inet * netmask * ifconfig fxp0 inet * netmask * However, "ifconfig fxp0" killed the machine. I lost keyboard. I tried to uncomment the lines in rc.network and left only network_interfaces="lo0". Still , rebooting died at the ifconfig point. I donot know what caused the problem. I used /usr/obj/elf/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/config configured the kernel. Does it matter? I am will very grateful if somebody could give me a hint. --Xiaowei To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
