When the Alpha box first starts, link and activity lights work. The box bootp's, starts netboot, then loads the kernel. As soon as the kernel starts, the link and activity lights dissapear. The dc driver detects the dual onboard 21143 based 10/100 Ethernet: dc0: <Intel 21143 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1100-0x117f mem 0x20c2000-0x20c23ff irq 29 at device 9.0 on pci0 dc0: interrupting at TSUNAMI irq 29 dc0: Ethernet address: 08:00:2b:86:28:54 miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 dcphy0: <Intel 21143 NWAY media interface> on miibus0 dcphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto The link lights never come back on, nor any activity lights. We have stacks of these boxes, and link lights are necessary for first level debugging. (bad cabling, etc) This is not exclusive to a box booted via. bootp. A box started via. local disk also exhibits this problem. >How-To-Repeat: Boot the kernel. >Fix: No known cure. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
