Hello,
I'm seeing the message periodically:

Nov 8 11:26:54 kgate kernel: eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!

Nov 8 22:57:46 kgate kernel: eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!
The source contains:
/* How to wait for the command unit to accept a command.
Typically this takes 0 ticks. */
static inline void wait_for_cmd_done(long cmd_ioaddr)
{
int wait = 1000;
do ;
while(inb(cmd_ioaddr) && --wait >= 0);
#ifndef final_version
if (wait < 0)
printk(KERN_ALERT "eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done
timeout!\n");
#endif
}
My machine is a HP Netserver LD Pro with a 200MHz Pentium Pro. I guess
a fast machine will only allow a very short time for the above loop.
Shouldn't it be fixed?
The hardware is this:
