I'm having an incredibly difficult time getting networks configured
on my (newly re-os'd) 5.1A 4100.
First off, the order of the NICs seems to have changed permanently:
4100 has always scanned top 4 slots, bottom to top, then
bottom 4 slots, bottom to top, giving:
tu1
---
tu0
---
---
---
tu3
tu2
but now they scan:
tu0
---
tu3
---
---
---
tu2
tu1
and no number of reboots or power cycles will fix it.
Next, I've gone thru netconfig multiple times while figuring out
the NIC scan order, and now I can't seem to get tu3 to come up
at boot. It's defined in /etc/rc.config, seemingly correctly,
but at boot it does not come up configured, though tu1 and tu2
do, and tu3 entry formats are identical to tu1/tu2 entry formats
for NETDEV_* and IFCONFIG_* items.
Questions:
- anyone else seen weird bus scan ordering on 4100s after 5.1a?
- is there something past rc.config that defines the interfaces
at boot?
- anyone else seen bugginess in 5.1A?
I'm using the December 2001 5.1A kit, with the 6.1 firmware, if that
makes a diff.
TIA for any responses, I'm stymied by this install!
