Turns out "pcie_aspm=off" effectively disables AER because Linux doesn't request AER control when it doesn't advertise ASPM support (see ACPI_PCIE_REQ_SUPPORT). That explains why "pcie_aspm=off" would avoid the error reporting.
This report was from a v3.11-based kernel. v3.11 is from Mon Sep 2 13:46:10 2013, so it should contain https://git.kernel.org/linus/dce87b960cf4 ("netxen: mask correctable error"), which should mask all Correctable Errors for this device (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/netxen/netxen_nic_main.c?id=v3.11#n1420), so I don't know why this flood happened. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279699 Title: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e4 / PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1279699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
