I have a sparcstation 10 which I had NetBSD running on for
a while (think it was 1.4.2). This was running perfectly.
Then I installed solaris, to show to a friend. That was running
well. In both cases, the network worked fine. Then in
reinstalled NetBSD 1.4.2, and every time at boot I get:
le0: controller failed to initialize
ledma0: error: CSR=a04600012 <ERR,DRAINING=0,IEN,DSBL_WR_INVAL>
I replaced the motherboard with another ss10. Same thing. I
changed the hub to the same one that worked before. Changed
the cables. Set tpe-linktest? true/false. Same thing --- no
network.
If I boot single user mode, the TP link light is on, and when
I do the ifconfig inet xx.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y it goes off.
When I boot using the install floppy, the network is fine and
I can ftp out of the machine (for example to reinstall the OS).
Anybody know what I did (or solaris did?) and how to fix it?
Thanks.
