Has anyone seen such a hardware failure where the link goes up but no packets go over the wire? It seems a bit unlikely that this hardware failure (and nothing else) should happen on a reboot after an upgrade.
It was indeed a weird hardware failure. All works fine with disabled inboard LAN and a cheap PCI network card.
