Problem with FreeBSD 6 -STABLE and Dell PowerEdge 2850 spewing arp requests

Hi All,
I have a problem with FreeBSD 6 -Stable, i built the machine with
-RELEASE and it's been running fine for the last few weeks.. Today i
tryed to make the jump to -STABLE by running cvsup on the RELENG_6
branch, running makebuildworld/kernel
which built fine without any errors.. upon the first reboot the machine
did not come back up.. I went down to the data centre where the machine
is COLO'd and saw the machine did boot the new kernel.. it just has no
network connectivity..
The Machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2850, Raid 1 volume on the Perc4i
controller.. there are 2 Intel 1000BT adaptors.. i poked around making
sure there were no errors in the syslog etc.. the machine comes up fine
as mentioned...
Yes - I can see running STABLE (or CURRENT for that matter) on a
production box makes perfect sence to me. Yes it does.
Wow, if I could use that sarcasm to fuel my car I'd be happy. I guess we
would be the only people to run current or stable on a production
machine, and everyone else is using RELEASE? I guess I should have stuck
with 4.1x considering all the initial troubles with 5.x, and not go to 6
at all cause heck that can't be near ready considering the obvious
ineptitude of freebsd developers, the horrible track record speaks for
itself. Or should I run RedHat? ;)
Just wanted to contribute to the discussion in a productive manner, and
make sure people are aware of issues as well as solve our current issue,
but thanks for your input nonetheless. I hope it's sunny over there
today, cause it is here. Whoomp.
