Hmmm... normally you should be controlling build options by setting
WITH_FOO style flags in /etc/src.conf, although I can't see anything
obviously relevant in src.conf(5).

Did you raise a PR about this?  Requesting a means to have a loader that
only works via a serial console sounds like something that should be
supported.

Cheers,

Matthew

Disappointing dependency introduced in 9.1 (from 8-STABLE)

2013-09-11 Thread Michael Sierchio
Because I build a lot of embedded devices with serial consoles, I was in
the habit of hacking /boot/loader by commenting out a line in a Makefile
that enables terminal emulation

/sys/boot/i386/libi386/Makefile:

#CFLAGS+= -DTERM_EMU

and then in /sys/boot doing a make clean && make

unfortunately, with 9.X, this breaks the compile.  It seems a dependency
was introduced which requires the videoconsole code.  I find this extremely
irritating.  Of course, there's nothing to stop me (at the moment) from
compiling loader under 8-STABLE and installing it on 9.1 machines, but...

Is there a better way now to stop the cursor from scribbling illegibly
across the screen?

Hi, does it use the mfi driver? Because that has been updated. There was
an errata notice about it on the 22nd August concerning mfi in JBOD
mode and disks >2TB



(typing by hand)

mps0:  port 0xb-0xb0ff mem 
mps0: Firmware: 16.00.00.00, Driver: 16.00.00.00-fbsd
mps0: IOCCapabilities:

The system I am sitting in front of, appears NOT to see the RAID1 disk but 
does see the two non-RAID disks. All disks are 1TB Seagate ST31000424SS.


The second system, which is remote and I cannot view its console from 
here, has two 250GB disks RAID1.

Can you try the mpslsi driver from LSI's web site and see if that works?

If it does, then it is a problem we've introduced locally.

If it doesn't, then LSI needs to fix it.

Okay, try the attached patch with the new driver and see whether it fixes
the problem for you.

The issue was that with the new rescanning code, we weren't rescanning RAID
volumes that got created.

It fixes the problem for me with a RAID-1 volume.

There is still the issue of all of the verbose probe errors that crop up
when an Integrated RAID volume is enabled, but it isn't obvious at the

I've done work with organizations that will not install anything that
is considered a development branch, of which stable/ is.  Therefore,
for production environments, those organizations will only install
-RELEASE or releng/ releases.  It comes down to a decision you and/or
your organization must make and that decision will be based on a
risk/reward analysis.

Hope that helps.

9.1-STABLE with xterm-292 oddity

2013-05-10 Thread William Bulley
Recently (last week) I upgraded two systems to 9.1-STABLE.  One system
is i386 and the other is amd64.  The upgrades were done about one day
apart.  While I have not checked every single commit, for the purposes
of this problem, I am assuming these two systems have the same ports,
src, and docs changes applied.  This is how I began these upgrades:

   % cd /usr
   % rm -rf src ports doc
   % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 src
   % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/head doc
   % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head ports

Note: these systems are desktop systems, not headless servers.  The
hardware of both systems is nearly identical, in particular, the
graphics card (ATI) is identical on each system.

After each upgrade, I wiped all my ports and rebuilt all the ports
on the list of ports I use on these systems.  While these two lists
are slightly different, the "basics" are the same in both cases.

I run Xorg on both systems along with open-motif and xterms:

xorg-7.5.2
open-motif-2.3.4
xterm-292

The /var/db/ports/xterm/options files on both systems are identical.

# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# Options for xterm-292
_OPTIONS_READ=xterm-292
_FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=256COLOR DABBREV DECTERM GNOME LUIT PCRE WCHAR
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=256COLOR
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=DABBREV
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=DECTERM
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=GNOME
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=LUIT
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=PCRE
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=WCHAR

Also the /usr/ports/x11/xterm/work/xterm-292/xtermcfg.h files are the
same on both systems.

The oddity is this: on one system, when I iconify/minimize/close
an open xterm window, the resulting small icon window holds a
pixmap (48x48) that is monochrome.  It resembles an outline drawing
of an old style dumb terminal.  On the other system, when I perform
the same operation (close/iconify an xterm window), the resulting
small icon window contains a color pixmap (48x48) of our Beastie!

While I have an .Xdefaults file in my home directory on both systems,
and there are XTerm resources configured therein, I do not configure
any resources that control xterm icons.  In fact, those .Xdefaults
files are identical in the XTerm resource lines.

I have rebuilt the x11/xterm port on the system with the color Beastie
pixmap for closed/iconic xterm windows using the following steps:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/xterm
# make deinstall
# /bin/rm -rf work
# make install

The results are the same as before, unfortunately.  Interesting enough,
one can see the color Beastie pixmap _inside_ the unstripped xterm
executable on each system using this command:

   % strings /usr/local/bin/xterm | less

The Beastie embedded pixmap appears after scrolling to about the 83%
point (and runs up to about the 93% point) of the strings output.

I am at a loss as to how one system is displaying the unwanted color
pixmap while the other is showing the desired monochrome pixmap.

Any ideas, or suggested avenues for further detective work, on this
issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,

web...

I'd say file a bug report, since subtly hidden parts of the disk can be 
beneficial in the right circumstances.  That, and it should just work.


Does your drive report the blocks as 512 bytes or 4k?  If you're using 
zfs now, run `zdb | grep ashift` and it should list 12 if it's 4k. 
Otherwise, you can get a performance hit if the drive's 4k native.  Two 
of my drives are 4k native but report as 512b, so I had to trick zfs 
with gnop.

Re: 9-STABLE doesn't boot: can't load 'kernel'

2013-04-15 Thread Joshua Isom
I can't recall, does the cd come with the btx loader?  Is it able to see 
the hard drive partitions and boot that way?


Did you put anything in loader.conf?  I'm guessing that if you're 
getting to /boot/loader but not any further, it's something wrong with 
the conf file.  If you're booting UFS, you might be safe just 
deleting/renaming the file.


And just for sanity's sake, you didn't try anything special with geom 
did you, such as 4k blocks, geli, etc?

I'm not sure where you're getting your 9-STABLE ports from, Jeff.

In the SVN repository I only see release tags and HEAD:
http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/

I also second Gilbert's advice about using HEAD for your ports tree, we do this 
here in production with over 50 boxes and have had no problems so far.


If you still want to use the branch from 9.1-RELEASE, it's here:
svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_1_0/

Note that, unless I'm wrong, you will not be getting *ANY* update to the ports 
tree then, it's frozen.
This means no security updates and all, AFAICT.

Um, not really. Or at least, not specific enough to be sure whether it
is correct or not.

The ports tree is not branched, and is intended to work with all
supported branches and releases. In other words, regardless of whether
you're running 9.1-RELEASE, 9-STABLE (in svn/cvs terms, RELENG_9), or
10.x (HEAD), you can (and, unless you have specific reasons otherwise,
usually corporate security dictates) should use a ports tree checked out
from HEAD.

This is unrelated to whether packages are available for the ports on a
particular branch or tag. Package availability is unusually limited at
the moment, but that's because the build cluster has very limited
capacity right now for a variety of reasons. That situation will improve
over time, but until computers are infinitely fast, the package
collection will lag somewhat behind the ports tree. 

Packages need to be built for a particular base system (or "close
enough": generally all base-system versions in the same major-number
release can run the packages for any other within that same series, most
notably the -STABLE version).

Additionally, -STABLE base system is "updated" by definition every time
a developer checks into the relevant branch (currently RELENG_9). For
ports, as I said earlier, there is no equivalent; updates go to HEAD,
period. When packages get built for a particular base system is a matter
of policy on the build cluster. I don't use downloaded packages for
ports updates, but I would expect that to evolve as the new build
cluster does.

Hi Jeff,

I think you might be confused here.

It is my understanding that there are ports for:
- HEAD
- x.y-RELEASE

I don't think you're going to be able to get a snapshot from 9-STABLE, because 
-STABLE is a continuing work.

What version do you consider to be 9-STABLE ?
Every time there's a new commit you get a "new" 9-STABLE.

Hi Jeff,

I think you might be confused here.

It is my understanding that there are ports for:
- HEAD
- x.y-RELEASE

I don't think you're going to be able to get a snapshot from 9-STABLE, because 
-STABLE is a continuing work.

What version do you consider to be 9-STABLE ?
Every time there's a new commit you get a "new" 9-STABLE.

Ports & Packages [Stable] in sync

2013-02-16 Thread Jeff Tipton

Hi,

I upgraded 9.0 -> 9.1 on my netbook and only then found out that there 
are no packages for 9.1-RELEASE. On my desktops, I keep ports and 
packages at the RELEASE versions, so I only have to compile when I need 
non-default options or when there are no packages. Would it be possible 
to get the ports snapshot that was used to compile the 9-STABLE 
packages? I think I could use subversion but then I need to know the 
revision number of that snapshot. What do you suggest?


Thanks,
Jeff

Use 'sysutils/libchk' or pkg_libchk (from bsdadminscripts) to find

Anyone else seeing problems with dtrace and cyclic in 9.1-stable???

2013-01-15 Thread Jukka A. Ukkonen

Greetings all,

Has anyone else seen these errors during 9.1-stable boot...

Jan 16 08:12:05 sleipnir kernel: link_elf_obj: symbol cyclic_clock_func 
undefined
Jan 16 08:12:05 sleipnir kernel: KLD file cyclic.ko - could not finalize loading
Jan 16 08:12:05 sleipnir kernel: KLD file dtrace.ko - cannot find dependency 
"cyclic"

This began around 14th - 15th Jan 2013.
I have no recollection of seeing these symptoms before.

As long as you stay on 9-STABLE, it is not necessary to rebuild all ports.  Actually, 
that is what the "stable" part means, a stable ABI:

last(1) does not work after upgrade to 9.1-STABLE

2013-01-05 Thread Victor Sudakov
Colleagues,

I have upgraded from 9.0-STABLE to 9.1-STABLE (via make world) and
have found out that last(1) does not work any more. 

 From the output of "strings /var/log/utx.log" I guess that the information
about recent logins, users, hosts etc is there, but somehow "last" does not
show it. The last entries it shows are from the moment before installworld.

Upgrading from 9.0-STABLE to 9.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update?

2013-01-02 Thread Joshua Isom
I've used STABLE for years, but with csup going away, I don't want to 
deal with adding extra packages, and keeping them unbroken, just to stay 
up date.  Running freebsd-update doesn't work for people running STABLE, 
and I'm not sure freebsd-update will work properly anyway if I compile 
world for myself.  What's the best way to switch from running STABLE to 
running the RELEASE channel?

Yeah, sys/conf/newvers.sh in stable/9 has not been updated yet.
It will happen...

following 9-STABLE but getting 9.1-PRERELEASE

2012-12-31 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

I'm following the 9-STABLE branch with svn and just updated my system. But 
after booting I noticed that my system is still at 9.1-PRERELEASE, and not 
9.1-STABLE or 9-STABLE.


Does someone know what happened?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Marco

Sadly, yes. There still is no csup-equivalent (efficient and
fast implementation distributed with the base OS) provided yet.
And it's not just about "being provided with the OS", but also
about nice integration (like /etc/sup/* config files or the
option to simply "make update").

Correct. You _can_ use this to compile your own non-GENERIC
kernel, but it will always have the "pre-STABLE" content,
just as the rest of /usr/src.

It should be possible, as the functionality of CVS and SVN can
be seen as quite comparable.

freebsd-update works for RELEASE, BETA and RELEASE CANDIDATES, the 
latter two when announced so.
This means you can use freebsd-update to go from 9.0-RELEASE to 9.1-RC3.
You wil have to be on RELEASE or RC to be able to do so.

This is because form p3 to p4 the kernel has not been modified and the 
last p# from newvers.sh is not shown unless you rebuild your kernel.

Right, it is not the same. 9.0-STABLE is at 9.1-PRERELEASE.

When going to a new RELEASE you will be prompted. Within the same 
release I have not seen yet that configuration files get changed.

Yes it warns you when you have a cutom kernel. There is no need to 
rebuild world or the GENERIC kernel (unless you want the p# to reflect 
the actual patchlevel), because freebsd-update takes care of the 
binaries and the sources also when installed. The whole process is very 
well documented in the handbook.

The -pN number will only be changed if the kernel has
gotten a change in this security patch run.

Correct. STABLE is a development branch (even though as the
name suggests, it's stable, not experimental, which would
apply to HEAD or CURRENT).



> Also, does freebsd-update warn you if you need to reboot/rebuild anything 
> (e.g. the kernel / userland or anything?)

You usually _have_ to reboot the system, as you've just
upgraded to a new operating system version. So at least
that would be the safest way. :-)

Rebuilding is only needed if you run a custom kernel.
The userland will be upgraded in a binary way (just as
the GENERIC kernel in case you're using it).

freebsd-update - To 'Stable'?

2012-11-22 Thread Karl Pielorz


Hi,

I have a number of 9.0-R boxes, some of which I've updated in the past to 
9.0-STABLE (as of the date they were done).


I'm looking at switching to 'freebsd-update' - is there an equivalent way 
to get it to update me to '-STABLE'?


i.e. If I run this on a 9.0-RELEASE box, I end up with 9.0-RELEASE-p4 (even 
though uname says '-p3' - it's apparently -p4.


I'm guessing that's not the same as if I'd csup'd to 9.0-STABLE on that 
day, and rebuilt the world?


I'd also guess freebsd-update will bring up some more queries / info if it 
has to merge any config files (I seem to have been lucky going from 9.0-R 
to 9.0-R-p4 nothings been displayed other than 'completed' - unless I'm 
doing something wrong :).


Also, does freebsd-update warn you if you need to reboot/rebuild anything 
(e.g. the kernel / userland or anything?)


Thanks,

MITM-based attacks--and subsequent corrupted sources--are my concern.
It was my understanding that anonymous svn+ssh would prevent this
assuming the host key was properly verified against
http://www.freebsd.org/internal/ssh-keys.asc.

Recently I've installed from an iso and then manually updated with
pgp-signed security patches. It would certainly be nice to have some
secure source update mechanism though.

That would be the password to a freebsd.org account, which isn't going
to work for most people on two counts:

   * freebsd.org uses SSH keys for authentication, not passwords.

   * even if you've got a SSH key, not being a FreeBSD committer you

For anonymous access, you can use http or svn.  Given that anonymous
access is read-only, there's really not much to be gained from SSH or
other means of encrypting the connection, either for you, or for the
FreeBSD servers.  It's anonymous, so you don't care about
authentication.  FreeBSD sources are publicly available, so you don't

you're still exposed to is a man-in-the-middle attack, where someone

Great question. I'm running into the same issue. I guessed around a

For something as fundamental as source and ports tree updates I'd
suggest taking advantage of the available SSH2-wrapper for subversion
and securing your line of communication with the repository:

svn co svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src
etc..

For ports you are wrong. Use this one : svn co

Another way to put this is: "ports are not branched".  There is no 
separate ports tree to go with a release, there is just the same one 
everybody uses.


For doc, I'm not sure I'd go with the branched version.  Many of our 
docs apply to multiple releases, so going with the trunk seems better. 
Might not make a lot of difference, depending.


  svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/doc/head/en_US.ISO8859-1

Sorry to jump in on the thread, but I wondered about pulling in the docs using 
svn. I use svn for base updates and ports, but haven't yet don so the docs.

My question is, does it pull in docs for all languages or can I exclude docs in 
languages that I don't need - I only need en docs.

Cheers, Jamie

My goal is to simply have a production server that's fully patched,
but I will be running custom kernels (which is why I'm not using
freebsd-update). I've seen a lot of subversion references to checking

I understand the "head" branch is the most current, so that's the same
as the "current" branch, right?

If I understand correctly, "most" people will not follow the "current"
branch for production servers.

My goal is to have all of the files I need to rebuild my kernel and my
system after security updates have been released, therefore I should
do something like:



svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/stable/9 /usr/ports

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/stable/9 /usr/doc

This will give me everything I need to recompile and have a fully
patched system, right?



I do not make changes to the src, ports, or doc directories. From that
point forward, as new security patches are released, I can simply:

svn up /usr/src

svn up /usr/ports

svn up /usr/doc

and once again rebuild my kernel and system.



Does this sound correct?

It sounds correct but is not :D

If you use svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src then you 
are tracking stable.

Stable is a not a release that receives patches.
Stable receives code from head(current) that has been tested in 
Current(head), but did not get real exposure in the stable branch which 
is now 9.

Stable is the code that is altered between releases.
So Stable might contain some bugs from head that are only exposed in the 
current code base.


So if you want a production system which only receive patches you need 
to track release.

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src

To sum it up:   (please correct me if i am wrong)

So for the latest and greatest use head which is FreeBSD 10 Current
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head /usr/src

If you want the stable branch use
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
This will give you FreeBSD 9 Stable

If you want to track release with patches use
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src
This will give you FreeBSD 9.1-px where px is the patch level if any.

I hope this clearify things a little bit

Browsing through http://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/, indicates 
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/head/ being the current branch of the 
documentation, with release branches located at 
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/release/ and below.

E.g. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/release/9.1.0/, or 
svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/release/9.1.0, for the upcoming 9.1-RELEASE.

I've never CVSup'ed nor done any svn co/up ops on doc/head, but you

The ports tree resides in ports/head no matter what branch from the 
main source tree you check out, i.e.:

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports

This morning at about 7 am, I noticed to commits to stable/9 that I wanted to 
pull in and so did and then rebuilt from source. 

Just now, I noticed this: svn commit: r240807 - in stable/9/contrib/bind9: . 
lib/dns lib/dns/include/dns

I really can't be bother to requildworld again, can I just go into 
/usr/src/contrib/bind9 and make, build, install that bit? It does affect me do 
I should really update to this commit, up to now i've only rebuilt the entire

Yup, the 12G machines came out when the paint was drying on 8.3. So  
there

isn't a -stable release with the updated driver.

The new mfi driver is in 9.1-RC1 if you are OK with a pre-release.

I hope you don't have the Broadcom 5720 NIC like the R620. The FreeBSD

it go
into the tree. It's known to _not_ work on the R620 and I believe  
R720.

8-STABLE base BIND version number typo ?

Hello list,



We're currently running Nessus PCI DSS scans on our infrastructure to
eliminate known vulnerabilities and problems.

The scan reports that my version of BIND is vulnerable to exploits I
*know* it isn't.

The problem, to me, seems to be with the version number as reported by
named -V :
BIND 9.6.-ESV-R7-P2 built with '--prefix=/usr'
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'
'--enable-threads' '--enable-getifaddrs' '--disable-linux-caps'
'--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-randomdev=/dev/random' '--without-idn'
'--without-libxml2'

(notice the .- notation)


This is the base's BIND running on 8.3-STABLE 64 bits compiled and
built on 22/08/12 :
FreeBSD pf1-dmz-gs.[snip] 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #2: Wed Aug 22
10:41:47 CEST 2012


I have verified that building the exact same version from the ports,
at /usr/ports/dns/bind96 yields the correct version number and the
vulnerabilities are no longer reported by the scan, which uses BIND's
version number as a reference.

I've recently installed 9-STABLE servers to try them out and fill PRs

I would agree with that philosophy up to a point. It is definitely a
matter of personal preference; however, for myself, I NEVER install
version X.0 of any software if said software is to be used in a mission
critical situation. I always wait until X.1 is released. If possible in
your case, would it be feasible to wait until 9.1 is released? You
can gather some info on it here:
<http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html>. As usual, any
correlation between the expected release date and the actual date is
purely coincidental. Just my 2¢ on the matter.



not disagreeing per se..but just a reminder that with the excellent

8.3 or 9.1.

Using 9.0 when 9.1 is behind the corner
is going backwards IMHO.

or 9-STABLE if you want your system
evolving up to release, which is nice 
because you can catch and solve all
possible problems one at the time, 
and not be overwhelmed upgrading
only to RELEASE.

I do not wonder. This is the best choice.

But I must say that I moved my machines now all to 10 and I am
surprised how robust it already is.

If robustness is the main concern, I would still recommend 8.x.

this list that if everyone waits for x.1 , then x.1 will just be riddled
with all the bugs that nobody (or only a select few) found in x.0

That is the point that decided me to get 9-STABLE for 2 of our new
firewall boxes.

Well, I also like your philosophy of waiting x.1 !
its a very good point.
 
Maybe 8.3-R would be the best.
 
I will wait to hear more comments.

I would agree with that philosophy up to a point. It is definitely a
matter of personal preference; however, for myself, I NEVER install
version X.0 of any software if said software is to be used in a mission
critical situation. I always wait until X.1 is released. If possible in
your case, would it be feasible to wait until 9.1 is released? You

I'd say it's a matter of personal preference.

We're mostly running 8.3 in production here.


I've recently installed 9-STABLE servers to try them out and fill PRs if
I get problems.


I would encourage you to use 9-STABLE so that you may do the same and
ensure the stability of future releases.

FreeBSD Stable production version.

2012-07-25 Thread Marwan Sultan

Hello all and Good Morning, Afternoon or evening :)
 
 I finally decided to take off my FreeBSD 7.2 server which is onlin esince 2009.
 
 I will go for a new FreeBSD version and will move out all data.
 
 My Server is mainly is a MAIL server, sendmail.
 and ofcourse few websites, data.etc..
 
 Which version do you recommend? 
 Shall I go for 9 ?
 or 8.3 is still more fit for a production and bsns server ?
 
 Thank you.

We removed an Intel branded equivalent from the DL360 and tried it in
the R620.  It detected it no problem.  Only problem was we could not
see it in the BIOS, not a huge deal to us.

Hi All,

I have 2 hosts, HP DL360 G8 and Dell R620.  Both have the
X520-DA2/Intel 82599 10G Fiber NIC.  Both also have the same FreeBSD

I can't imagine that 9-STABLE delivers such a broken file (already
because the "www.plusgsm.pl" entry in your file); I do not know how you
did the update and if maybe this is the result of some kind of broken
merging; I'm attaching the original file out of SVM (CURRENT) and mine

I did not knew that its broken, I used the '3g'
profile to connect, like that: # ppp -ddial 3g

It worked very well without errors on 9.0-RELEASE
and it stopped working after the update to the
9-STABLE, what is broken there?

I said this already: the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file you are using is
completely broken and the log matches this;

what should these AT cmds do in the section of 3g:

3g:
set device /dev/cuaU0
set speed 38400
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
term
AT+CFUN=1
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","www.plusgsm.pl"
ATD*99#

Did it perhaps create more serial ports for you that were not there
before  ?  What is the output of
ls -l /dev/cuaU*

umodem/ppp/3g stopped working after update from 9.0-RELEASE to 9-STABLE

2012-06-28 Thread vermaden
Hi,

at the 9.0-RELEASE I have had fully working ppp/3g connection via the
Dell 5530 modem in my Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. After I upgraded
to 9-STABLE r237458 it does not work any more.

Were there any significant changes in 9-STABLE that broke it?

Here is more detailed info:

Turns out the gbic in the switch was bad...I didn't think there was a
problem on the host, but you all still gave me some good info.  I
appreciate it!

Thanks, Jack.  I did get rid of the rx ring failure.  Link status
still shows no carrier.  I think everything looks right from the
host's perspective.
