#610 Dell Optiplex 740 - No network w/embedded

[Ricardo Stella]

Upgraded embedded 0.69.4276 to 0.7RC1.4735 via WebGUI - Upgrade was successful but after reboot, lost network connectivity. Tried to assign DHCP, static, and assigned to the interface (bge0) or auto.

Cleaned installed (via physdiskwrite) and same results.

Reverting back to 0.69.2 for now, which works... Willing to post more details.

0.7RC2 4856 has the same issue as I unfortunately discovered.

This may be a fix.

I fixed the issue by going into the shell and doing the following:

1) umount /cf
2) mount -o rw /cf
3) nano /cf/boot/loader.conf

and added the following lines:

hw.pci.enable_msi="0"
hw.pci.enable_msix="0"

saving and rebooting.

The problem is also found in FreeNAS 8.

The commands for that in the shell are as follows:

1) mount -uw /dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a /
2) nano /boot/loader.conf

and add the following lines and save:

hw.pci.enable_msi="0"
hw.pci.enable_msix="0"

3) mount -ur /dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a /
4) exit

Reboot.
