What’s the easy way to get an unpacked 14.2 generic amd64 kernel? Well, okay, that was something. I extracted a 14.2-RELEASE /boot/kernel and was able to boot into it. The system came up far more properly than it had under 14.1-RELEASE-p5 tried earlier. (Resource limits couldn’t be applied in rc.subr with 14.1). But, the IPv6 routing problem still exposed itself. Then, just to confirm, I rebooted into 14.1-RELEASE-p5 again. This was where things stopped being useful. This _also_ failed in the same way the more recent kernels had. I don’t _think_ I changed anything between the last time I tested that, just selecting a different kernel from the boot menu, but this time it didn’t magically work. So, I can’t say any longer that it’s necessarily a regression between 14.1p5 and 14.3. I mean, I could try resetting my whole image to a snapshot from 14.1 (ZFS root), but I don’t think it’s worth that effort. >> On Sep 15, 2025, at 15:05, Tom Pusateri <pusateri@keehole.org> wrote: >> >> I would try running the 14.3p2 system without the VLAN configuration and a direct connection to the upstream provider hardware (no switch) and see if the problem persists.

I don’t know if I have the energy for the whole thing tonight, but I’ll start running cables and configuring the switch at least. See where I get. :-) Thanks all for your time, I am just more confused now. - Chris
