Upgrade to 2.0RC fails on Alix due to Network Interface Mismatch

Dr_Jekyll

Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my alix (with 3 vr interfaces) from 1.2.3 RELEASE (nanobsd) to 2.0 RC1 nanobsd (2G). It seemed to work fine at first but on reboot i got this message:

–------------------------------------------------------
Network interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option.
vr0: link state changed to UP
vr1: link state changed to UP
vr2: link state changed to DOWN

Valid interfaces are:

vr0 00:0d:b9:XX:XX:XX (up) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX
vr1 00:0d:b9:XX:XX:XX (up) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX
vr2 00:0d:b9:XX:XX:XX (up) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX

I reassigned the Interfaces then, but to no avail, i received the following errors:

The interfaces will be assigned as follows:

WAN -> vr1
LAN -> vr0
OPT1 -> vr2

...and then it starts again in a loop (alway asks me to assign interfaces).

Has anybody an idea how to solve that or is it a bug?

Thanks and regards,

Replying to myself here, i just checked my 1.2.3-config and found i had used 2 "Umlaute" in the description-field of the filter section. Could this be the cause for this also?

Thanks again,
Chris

Yes, that is the cause - the special characters were not properly handled in the 1.2.3 config and broke the XML spec. It's handled better in 2.0, but importing them can still fail because the old config will not parse properly.

Hi!

I've the same problem! My question: Special charachters are also _ or - ??? Can that be my problem?
