Hi, I have a weird situation here on 7-PRERELEASE since a longer time. When I enable IPv6, syslogd tries to start before the network is being initialised and I get the following output: Mounting local file systems:. hw.snd.default_unit: 0 -> 1 Setting hostname: zelda.local. Creating and/or trimming log files:. Starting syslogd. Nov 18 16:01:27 syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address Nov 18 16:01:27 syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address syslogd: child pid 226 exited with return code 1 Checking for core dump on /dev/ad0s1b.eli... savecore: error reading last dump header at offset 8589930496 in /dev/ad0s1b.eli : Invalid argument savecore: no dumps found Initial amd64 initialization:.
