[Bug 38865] Re: [Bug 38865] Re: sky2 driver freezing system after ifdown and ifup

2006-09-25 Thread fab
I just want to advertise with actual kernel sky2 driver is still not
working (stops transfering data under high load, even if I disable
autonegociation). But, sk98lin driver loads and works like a charm
(unlike before).

BTW, Thanks for your work.
Fabien Devaux.

Just use the -386 version for testing. You really don't need the -686  
just to tell me if your network card works.

I have just retried it:

  491  wget -b 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels/sk98lin-dapper/linux-image-2.6.15-26-k7_2.6.15-26.47_i386.deb
  492  wget -b 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels/sk98lin-dapper/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386_2.6.15-26.47_i386.deb
  493  ll -rt
  494  cat wget-log*
  495  ll
  496  sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386_2.6.15-26.47_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.15-26-k7_2.6.15-26.47_i386.deb
  497  grep 2.6.15 /boot/grub/menu.lst
  498  sudo shutdown -r now

Then it gets stuck and unresponsive at:

Uncompressing linux kernel ... Ok, now running the kernel. (or
something like that)

This is on a Core Duo laptop (http://avilella.googlepages.com/vaiosz)

Any ideas?

 Well, no one tested my kernels. I could just back out the fix because of
 that, but instead I'll leave it in, and just hope it works.
 
 If it isn't fixed, then we'll have to wait for the next kernel update.

I think my problem is associated to a wrong bug, I use sky2 and it's ok
after ifup/ifdown with latest ubuntu kernel... but when I transfert a
file (high usage of the network card) it stops working, and I have to
reload reload the module and reconfigure everything...
I'm ready to test something if you want to.

Best regards.

 Hi all, 
 I've successfully compiled and installed sk98lin. 
 I added sky2 to the blacklist.
 I've added sk98lin to /etc/modules.
 After boot up, sk98lin is loaded and sky2 is not.
 But no eth0 device appears: I don't know how to bring up the interface.

This is pointless. I went to the effort of putting sk98lin into the
dapper kernel, compiling it for testing, and posted that URL to this bug
report. Matter of fact, it's in the comment right above yours. I did
this so I could get some feedback before uploading it for
dapper-updates. If no one tests it, I'll have to back it out, which
means it may never get put back in.

How about someone test it?

 To permanently use sk98lin, I have simply moved the sky2.ko file to some
 other location from the /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net
 directory. That way, only sk98lin gets loaded at boot and works fine - I
 always bring up the network manually (ifup eth0) with different scripts
 depending on my location, but I think it should also work automatically
 if you have set it up that way.

sudo bash
echo blacklist sky2  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-sky2
exit

This will make it permanent even across upgrades.

 Hi Ben,
 
 one quick request, since you have not released the new kernel, is it possible 
 to move to sky2 driver included in 2.6.17-rc6-git5? I saw Linus just 
 committed another important bug fix.
 Generally speaking I think that we'll need to track the upstream on sky2 
 driver as close as possible... I have the impression that sky2 driver is 
 still a bit work in progress...

I already pulled in that fix for the dapper kernel.

Currently we are waiting for one more important fix to go into this
dapper update, and once it's ready, the kernel will be uploaded and made
available.
