Is this fixed in later kernels, e.g. the 2.6.38 from Debian unstable?

If so and the fix can be isolated we can fix it in 2.6.32 for Squeeze.

Unfortunately squeeze provided kernels are not booting on V880/V480
systems (hangs at boot, log files are available on request). 

Will try install boots from testing when time
permits. Or are there other tftpbootable images I could/should try ?

Thats the major issue here at the moment, cassini has to wait...

Thanks for caring,
  Hermann

The conversation with Dave petered out, was the further discussion/

I tried again with vanilla 2.6.32 (2.6.27-2.6.31 are unusable due to a kernel
memory corruption bug), the driver is still crashing my Sunfire V480R.

Have no time to enable debugging and test more at the moment, but will try 
later.

Greetings

Tried today vanilla 2.6.33, then did a:

# modprobe -v cassini cassini_debug=-1
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/net/cassini.ko cassini_debug=-1

In kern.log the messages appeared:

As before, setting up the interface with ifconfig works.
After sending out 68 pings the machine crashed with the usual 
Hardware FATAL RESET.

What can be done to debug this further ?

Thanks,

Nothing really, I just simply have no time to look into it

Does this work with the wheezy release or later kernels?

Nope, tried 3.10.0 today - network worked for a short time, then a
Hardware FATAL RESET occured. Last suspicion was a chip issue with rev 11 
cassini - there is one working report with rev 20 chips only.

For the records: this was a 4 CPU 480R. As usual console output
is saved and could be provided, any other ideas are welcome.

Thanks,
 Hermann

Tried today vanilla 3.4.0 and 3.3.7: 3.4.0 crashes most probable unrelated in
the md code, on 3.3.7 setting up the cassini driver hangs the machine and
afer a while it resets itself, see below.

Aron, do you have a Sun Fire 480R ? If yes, I'm interested in getting a running 
binary kernel from
you to rule out configuration and compiler issues.

Thanks,
  Hermann

I have remote ssh access (root) to that running SunFire 408R, what can
I do to help you?

Note I need to keep the service running so don't expect me to try out
something new...


PS: I've disabled the rename function of udev and set hwaddress in
/etc/network/interfaces directly to work around the always changing
mac address.

Bug#516785: Bug #516785: linux-image-2.6.26-1-sparc64-smp: [sparc] SunFire480R cassini network driver kernel panic

2012-06-01 Thread Aron Xu
Here is some more information of our machine FYI.

Attached dmesg_20120322T184612.txt is the dmesg generated during boot
of the machine on Mar 22, 2012, which is the date we did our last
reboot and put it into production.

The machine has 14GB RAM, that is 512MB*(16+12). Because there is one
broken RAM, we have to remove all the group of four to make the
machine boot, so there is 2GB's loss.

The network is dual-stacked IPv4 and IPv6. Both of the NICs have
configured multiple IPv6 addresses, only one of them have one IPv4
address. But I confirm it does not have any problem with no connection
or have only one NIC configured.

The operating system when installed is 6.0.4, user space programs are
updated to 6.0.5 later, but the kernel isn't updated. The kernel is
linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp, version 2.6.32-41squeeze2. I can
confirm that 2.6.32-41 worked because its the default of 6.0.4 CD1.

d-i prompted for firmware during installation, and I supplied all the
firmware.tar.gz as well as an unpacked directory by a USB flash disk.
Then the installation continued.

The disk is configured as software RAID1 (hardware RAID card seems not
being recognized), though /boot as a separated partition isn't
configured in the RAID due to a glitch in d-i. /boot is ext3, and / is
ext4.

The Sun remote control card is installed but not configured.

The server's load is normally not very high, but it's usually to have
a load average of 2 ~ 3. Most of the loads are processing network
requests with very few disk I/O.

2012-06-01 Thread Aron Xu
Hi Hermann,

Is it possible to describe the detailed physical status of all the two
CPU/Memory boards? I would like to know which Slots do you place your
CPUs and which memory module groups are installed (and how much) on
both of the CPU/Memory boards.

How to disable the renaming ? Will try to set the hwaddr during the next test.
Appended is the lspci and /proc/cpuinfo output.
Using the 2.6.32-45 squeeze default image just did hang the machine when 
loading the cassini drivers again.
Wondering now if having only one cpu board with 2 cpus may be the problem.

Many thanks for your help,
  Hermann

No, a second machine of the same type is available now for testing - and also 
crashing after
loading of the cassini driver. Here lspci and cpuinfo:

This machine has 24G RAM, 16 on one board and 8 on the other. The first machine 
has one board with 16G.
So it may be a memory issue, as Aron has only 14G. Other maybe the OBP version 
- here is the latest installed
on all machines. Just to rule out a firmware issue:

$ md5sum /lib/firmware/sun/cassini.bin 
fd11e09e8e61694353f12b3de376292a

Any further ideas to debug deeper ?

Thanks,
  Hermann

2012-03-27 Thread Aron Xu
Hi,

I can confirm that Debian Squeeze 6.0.4, with kernel
linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp, version 2.6.32-41 or
2.6.32-41squeeze2, does not crash anymore. The installation process is
smooth (d-i prompts for a firmware), and the system is working well.
But don't run lshw with this kernel, it may cause panic (#665932).

Well I can't see any changes that might have fixed this.  Maybe there's
a difference between your machine and Hermann's?

Hermann, what was the last kernel version where the cassini driver
worked on this system?  You originally reported that the problem started
with 2.6.24 in 'etch-and-a-half'.

The short answer is: never, the driver always crashes the machine after a 
short time.

As far as I remember with discussions from davem the driver only worked on UP
machines, which I can't simulate with the Sun Fire 480R as it has 2 CPU/board.
A dual cassini Gigabit RJ45 is build in.

I'm on vanilla 3.2.12 at the moment and will test after easter in the
(not so much) spare time. If anybody with such a machine has it running
I'm interested to hear.

Thanks,
  Hermann
