Please ignore the drbd part. This is is never opened so it is nothing more
but a BLOCK device handing around in the device tree.

Reply-To: netdev@axxeo.de Hi Manfred, I filed BUG 6480 describing the problem and providing lots of info. If you need more info, just ask. At the moment I have no idea about the reasons. Except Crossover-Cabling vs. using a switch. The machine is a production machine, so I cannot test kernels and patches. But I have several machines with identical hardware where I can test this. Once we can reproduce it without a Sonicwall, I can build a test setup using any kernel hackery required to resolve the issue :-) Could you please contact the right nVIDIA people, if needed? PS: Stephen, you are not CC'ed from bugzilla and "agreed to help out with net driver maintenance" so I CC'ed you here manually. Regards Ingo Oeser Does this still occur with the current forcedeth driver (2.6.18 or later)?

I'll ask the customer, if I can flip interfaces on his mailserver again, but this will take time. I can also only test upto 2.6.18.x at the moment until that disk corruption problem is sorted out. But I'll try my best to set up a test. Can you attach your forcedeth.c file? Created attachment 10705 [details]

Fix tx timeout routine
Patch 2/2
The patches are in now. Ingo does everything work for you now? If so we can close this bug, thanks. We've hit it just with this customer and have several machines deployed and 4 deployed in the same configuration without problems. We'll try this at the next complete on-site day for the customer. But this day is one or two months away. So I close this bug and reopen it, when we hit it again. NIC cannot be replaced (without soldering), as it is on-board in the chipset. |
