Re: [E1000-devel] Port showing link down at random times

2008-08-28 Thread Tantilov, Emil S
Do you see this only on one of the ports or is it accross all of them?
Please send the complete output from dmesg after you had seen the failures.
Also cat /proc/interrupts - since you have so many interfaces there's probably 
a lot of interrupt sharing going on.
ethtool -S on the failing interface would also be useful.
LED will be on if WOL is enabled (ethtool ethX | grep Wake).

What kind of a system is this (make/model)? If I read the output from lspci 
correctly - you have 9 dual port NICs - is that right?

Thanks,
Emil

Using 8.0.3.1-NAPI, I get the same results.


Some further observations:
When ethtool reports that the port is down, the LED on the card is still
on, and the link partner is showing that the port is up.
I have tried it both with and without autoneg, at full duplex and at
half duplex. (I'm not using Gigabit, only 10M and 100M) No difference.
It is more prevalent when I put more traffic through it. Occasionally I
get the TX_unit_Hang messages. (I thought this was fixed long ago?)


Any further diagnostics I can provide?

 also, can you tell us if you see the Intel AMT bios pre-boot screen
 come up?

 No pre-boot screen.

 I'll have a go at the new driver and let you know.

oh, my mistake, you don't need e1000e for this device, because you're
running an 82546
you can try e1000-7.6.15.5 from sourceforge, no configuration changes
necessary, it will probably run both your 82546 and 82566.

after that release we split the PCIe support into a new driver, e1000e,
and the pci support stayed in e1000

Since I think you have an 82566 also, if you upgrade to e1000-8.X please
see
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=125331group_id=4230
2

as your 82566 hardware will be supported by e1000e and 82546 by e1000.

Actually it's most likely to be 2 quad port NICs. lspci -n would help determine 
the device ID. Also lspci -vvv would be nice to see as well.

Thanks,
Emil

Re: [E1000-devel] how to repair correupted EEPROM/NVM?

2008-08-28 Thread Brandeburg, Jesse
no, a bios update will either not change it at all or it will fix the
entire eeprom and reprogram the checksum.

You have contacted your laptop vendor and told them about this right?

I would try the bios upgrade.

   This is a laptop, so it is most probably built in. But isn't the
MAC
   address stored in EEPROM? A BIOS image is not machine specific, so
I
   don't see how that would be able to fully restore the data.
  
  depending on the laptop it might be a discreet part with discreet
  eeprom, or it could be integrated.  I don't know because you never
  mentioned what type of hardware you're using nor did you post an
lspci
  -vvv
  
 
 The machine is a Lenovo R61. lspci attached.
 
 I could try a BIOS update. Any risk it might simply fix the checksum
 and make the device fall off the PCI bus (the same way it did for
 David)?
