Hi
I have a FreeNAS 11.2 running on a Dell T20, it started its life as a 9.3 then updated to 9.10 and then 11.2. There has not been any hardware changes during this periode (other than adding 2x8GB RAM), but after the update to 11.2 a strange thing has appeared.
It seems as though the system does not bring up networking on boot if the monitor is not turned on. I have seen a couple of times where a shutdown was needed, that after boot it did not have an IP address. I'm running with a static configured IP so its not really a DHCP problem. If I turn on the monitor, I can see that it does not show the URL where I can login to the web gui. If I then login to the console and rerun the network configuration, then it brings up the interface.
If I boot with a monitor attached and turned on, then the system actually boots with network configured (so its kinda hard to debug).
I can see that there are a few similar cases in the forum, but they appear to be caused by some hardware issue with motherboard/chipset... but since this has not happened with 9.x I assume that the hardware/chipset support should be ok? The network adapter is a onboard interface as well as the VGA is onboard.
