Hi everyone,
I have an IBM PC Server 325 running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. I set this
system up last year, and since the kernel didn't support the Ethernet
card, I had to rebuild the kernel and include the lnc driver. Since
then, everything seemed to be fine.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I had to backup some files from another
server and I transferred a 1.4 GB .tar archive onto my FreeBSD
machine via FTP. But when I needed to retrieve the backup, I received
this message on the console:
lnc0: Start of packet found before end of previous in transmit ring
-- Resetting
and the system hung.
I, unfortunately, had to restart the system manually and tried the
transfer again to no avail. I receive the same message one or two
times, and the system hangs.
I did a lot of searching on Google about the subject but I couldn't
find a specific answer, except one message recommending changing the
ethernet cable and/or the port, which I also tried.
I believe this is some sort of driver problem and I really hope
someone has at least an idea about what is wrong and what I can do to
fix it.
Regards,
