Greetings,
I've a strange problem here. My home nameserver machine had been
running 1.4.2 for last three months without a problem, and I decided
to move to 1.5. So, I halted it, booted netbsd.ram from the old root
filesystem, and now the 1.5 kernel has some really eerie problems with
qe0. The symptoms are as follows:
# ifconfig qe0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS qe0: Device not configured
One might think at this point that the kernel can't see qe0. But,
from /kern/msgbuf:
qe0 at uba0 csr 174440 vec 764 ipl 17
It can definitely see the card, but it can't use it for some reason.
Any ideas? I already did re-disklabel & newfs over the 1.4.2 system,
so I won't be able to return to the old system unless I setup network
boot and restore the backups manually.
