I got a panic from the Tulip driver on a freshly installed 1.4 system
on an Intel box. I haven't seen this mentioned before. Did I miss
something?
Here is the long story.
I just installed 1.4 on a PC. I hadn't had time to clean up the
network config area yet. I had a point-point link connected to another
PC. When I rebooted the other PC, the PC running NetBSD landed in
the debugger with this message:
tulip_media_link_monitor: unknown: botch at line 537
I've got two Tulips in that box. The one to the other PC is de1.
It hasn't been configured yet.
de0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0
de0: interrupting at irq 11
de0: DEC DE500-AA 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
de0: address 00:00:f8:1a:4b:9f
de1 at pci0 dev 14 function 0
de1: interrupting at irq 11
de1: DEC DE500-BA 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0
de1: address 00:00:f8:1f:99:2a
% netstat -I de1

Here is that chunk of code:
if (mi == NULL) {
#if defined(DIAGNOSTIC) || defined(TULIP_DEBUG)
panic("tulip_media_link_monitor: %s: botch at line %d\n",
tulip_mediums[sc->tulip_media],__LINE__);
#endif
return TULIP_LINK_UNKNOWN;
}
I typed "continue" to the debugger and it took a dump so I can get
more info if that will help.
