--- Comment #48 from Keve Nagy <freebsd....@nagykeve.e4ward.com> --- Created attachment 248615 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=248615&action=edit Files and logs collected during testing the bge-patch, 2024-FEB The summary is: * the bge_wol patch works on 13.2R * the bge_wol patch makes no improvement on 14.0R Used two computers for the tests. A HP T610 Thin Client with an onboard bge interface, which boots in UEFI+GPT mode only. And a HP MicroServer N40L with an onboard bge interface, which boots in BIOS+MBR mode only. Both computers were set up to dual-boot between FreeBSD 13.2R and FreeBSD 14.0R, with sources installed, and "freebsd-update fetch install" applied. Before my tests, I connected the bge interface of both computers to an isolated network switch. For reference I also connected a third computer without a bge interface, this had em0. Booted a live Linux from an USB stick on one of the 3 computers at a time, shut it down, and successfully woke it up via FreeBSD's built in "wake aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" command to verify that BIOS settings, cabling, switch, collected addresses are all OK and WOL actually works for each of them. Then ... * For each system, I booted the factory GENERIC kernel, run "ifconfig" to see what it shows (WOL_MAGIC was never shown, even an "ifconfig bge0 wol" did not activate it), issued a "shutdown -p now", and tried to wake it from one of the other hosts. WOL with the factory kernel never woke the bge-based nodes, but always woke the em-based computer (which did always show WOL_MAGIC in ifconfig output). Then booted the system again, issued a "cd /usr/src", followed by a "patch < ~/if_bge_patch240113.diff" which always completed successfully. Then "make buildkernel", followed by "make installkernel", and "shutdown -r now". ** I booted the bge-patched GENERIC kernel, run "ifconfig" to see what it shows, issued a "shutdown -p now", and tried to wake it from one of the other hosts. Both bge-based nodes successfully woke when they were "shutdown -p now" from under a bge-patched FreeBSD 13.2, but never woke when they were "shutdown -p now" from under a bge-patched FreeBSD 14.0. The em-based host always woke, regardless of being shut down from under FreeBSD 13.2 or 14.0. The bge-patched 13.2 GENERIC kernel works reliably. I tried multiple times. Also tried doing a "shutdown -r now" after a successful WOL and then doing a "shutdown -p now". Always worked perfectly fine. In none of the cases I experienced that the computer booted up unexpectedly after a "shutdown -p now". So it never behaved like a "shutdown -r". Except when I explicitly run a "shutdown -r". See attached files. Let me know if I can help any further. Regards, Keve -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
