Hi, I have been running etherboot/diskless machines successfully with several 4.x releases. Now I have trouble bringing up 5.0 diskless x86 machines. The same dhcp/nfs/etherboot setup works for 4.x. But the 5.0 kernel freezes and eventually crashes without printing anything on the console. I am pretty sure it has passed the etherboot stage, network traces showed that init was loaded via NFS. If I replace the 5.0 kernel with a 4.7 image, it simply works. Can someone tell me what different things I have to do in a diskless 5.0 kernel? I do have the BOOTP, BOOTP_* and NFS_ROOT options enabled. Thanks for your help, Dong Lin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
