@stephenw10 sorry im still learning, where do i need to look for the kldstat output ?

stephenw10

You can run kldstat from the webgui in Diag > Command Prompt.

Or you can run it from the command line like:

[22.01-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat

kldstat

this is what it gave me.

Hmm, so it's not loaded. What do you have set in Sys > Adv > Misc for crypto hardware?

Steve

wheelhouse20

@stephenw10 i have it set to AES-NI cpu based acceleration.

stephenw10

Hmm, OK try this:

cat /boot/loader.conf

You should see see the loader line that cause aes-ni to be loaded at boot.

You can also try manually loading it:

kldload aesni.ko

@stephenw10
Shell Output - cat /boot/loader.conf
autoboot_delay="3"
net.link.ifqmaxlen="128"

Shell Output - kldload aesni.ko
kldload: can't load aesni.ko: No such file or directory

maybe its some thing to do with dells bios or not supported.

stephenw10

Hmm try the full path:

kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko

You are running 2.5.2 or 2.6 I assume?

@stephenw10 Hello im running 2.6 i tried kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko and got this kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/aesni.ko: No such file or directory.
should i do a reinstall to see if it fixes the issue ?

Nice.
Weird, it looks like somehow that file really wasn't present. I have no idea how that could be possible though.
