      @XIII I've got ACPI disabled in the BIOS and during boot-up I've been choosing the option without ACPI. Is there something else I should be doing?

        will have to wait for wallabybob as he requested the dmesg, i dont know how to read all of it.
        doesnt look like acpi is being properly disabled

          @XIII Here's a new dmesg when I enable PnP and ACPI in the BIOS, just in case that helps.

            this is in the wrong forum, you are using 2.0 ALPHA
            try a 1.2.3 release version, if that solves it post a thread in 2.0

            2.0 is for testing only its not stable 1.2.3 is.

              @XIII As I noted above, 1.2.3 ignores the console after boot, but if I need to get the topic moved over to another forum that's fine too. I still need to figure out if this is hardware or software causing the issue.

              EDIT: Attempting to get 1.2.3 installed properly through some BIOS nonsense, will list results in a tic.

                1.2.2?
                did you try 1.2.3 with the method i stated?
                since you used 1.2.3 and it looks like all 4 nics are the one i would say they are bad.

                try to make them wan/lan instead of opt if that still doesnt work they may be bad. did the person who gave it to you say everything was working?

                  @XIII Sadly all I can get from the guy who gave it to me is that "it was working when I used it last" which tells me a whole lot of nothing. I got 1.2.3 working through some blind keyboard magic. Here's the new dmesg output (ACPI enabled)

                    Assigning fxp0 and fxp1 as LAN/WAN doesn't change them at all, still no link lights. Starting to look more and more like hardware I guess.

                    EDIT: On a whim I bridged fxp0 and fxp1 to fxp3 (LAN) to see if that would help, now it lists their status as "no carrier" instead of "down."

                      ok, do you need 4 ports? do they work with the factory riverbed image?

                        I don't need four, though it'd be nice, as for the factory image it wouldn't do much because the license had expired. I didn't think to test all the ports before reformatting because it seemed like a given that they'd work. Obviously I had too much faith in the technology.

                            it looks like pf sees all 4 nics, and that all 4 are the same type.
                            did the guy who gave it to you use just the 2 that you got working?

                              make sure everything is clean, ive had some lint/dust stop a device from working, i blew on it with air all over and looked at it very carefully for about 5 min to see if i missed anything, it fixed the problem

                              if all else fails its a 1.5 GHZ system with two 1 Gbps nics (working) but since the nics are Gbps i wouldnt use it for pf (unless you have a fiber connection) i would use it for freenas or the like.

                                Can't do a factory restore as I'm using the drive. It's a tiny little box which is why I was going to use it as a firewall, but I could see possibly using it for FreeNAS or such as well. The guy who gave it to me hadn't used it a long time, though he says he only ever used two ports so it's possible it's always had two dead ones. I suppose if nothing else it's running at the moment and has enough active ports to route if I needed it to.

                                Still, if there are any brainstorms on the other two ports I'd certainly appreciate the input. Thanks @XIII for all the suggestions.

                                  Assigning fxp0 and fxp1 their own static addresses also gives the status "no carrier". Not 100% sure what that means though.

                                    wallabybob may be able to decipher more from the dmesg than i could so he may respond (thought i saw him "making his rounds", also he was the one who thought of that)

                                    hope it works out

                                    the no carrier means no connection

                                      Got'cha, hopefully he can shed some light on this, if not I've got a mostly working machine and a few new tricks for installing embedded. Thanks XIII.
