Description Kambiz Aghaiepour 2005-02-04 20:28:02 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
I can install on the blades with as2.1-u5 (which used the e.49 kernel
for the installation).  Once the system is up and running (the network
interfaces show up as tg3 interfaces btw), and I up2date the box to
get the latest kernel (e.57), at which point I cannot reboot into the
latest kernel.  I have seen two conditions so far in the test
installations that I have done.  Either the system panics upon bootup
(and actually never boots up completely), or the integrated Cisco
switch in the BladeCenter chassis sees errors on the tg3 interface,
and disables the port, rendering the environment offline.  Are you
aware of anyone else reporting this sort of unexpected behavior?  Thanks

Kambiz

Kambiz,

could you please attach the kernel errors to this bug report ?

Comment 2 Jim Paradis 2005-09-19 22:17:30 UTC
Are you still seeing this behavior?  Can you attach console logs to provide more
information?


Comment 3 Jim Paradis 2006-09-14 20:38:27 UTC
Due to the age of this bug and lack of response from the reporter, I am closing
this as WONTFIX.
