Re: PROBLEM: 2.6.23-rc "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out"

2007-10-01 Thread Karl Meyer
Hi,

after reading about issues with the nics on kontron boards I did a
bios upgrade,
but this did not change anything.
However, yesterday the nic (onboard) I used died. No link at all,
after switching to
the next onboard  nic I got a NETDEV transmit timeout with that one on
kernel 2.6.22-r2.
It seems the whole thing is a hardware issue. I will try to figure out
with kontron.

Sorry :(

Karl

Hi Francois,

this is what I found and sent:

The error exists from patch 2 on. I did some network testing with
patch 1 and currently use it and have no errors so far.
>From my experiences up to now patch 1 should be error free.

Do you need additional info?

2.6.22-r2 in gentoo is based on 2.6.22.1. It is way before
0e4851502f846b13b29b7f88f1250c980d57e944 that you reported to work.
Thus it is not surprizing that it works.

Any update regarding the patchkit that I sent on 2007/08/16 ?

It would help to narrow the culprit.

Can you reproduce this on 2.6.22 (not 2.6.22.x - it might be a -stable

BTW, I don't know wheter it's related too, but I think you should try
first to get rid of these errors:

2007-08-16 Thread Karl Meyer
I did some testing today and found that the error occurs after
applying some of the patches. However I did not figure out the exact
patch in which the error "starts" since it sometimes occurs immediatly
when moving some data over the net and sometimes it takes 30 min till
I get the transmit timeout. I will be away till sunday and do some
more testing then.

Can you:
- send a complete dmesg + /proc/interrupts + .config
- use git bisect to find a suspect changeset
  I do not expect any change of behavior between 2.6.22 and
  25805dcf9d83098cf5492117ad2669cd14cc9b24 if it can help you narrow
  things down (assuming it is a r8169 regression).
