Hi Andreas, just to make sure: did you tested this card with this firmware with success in another machine or RHEL version perhaps? Hey Aristeu, not yet. I'll have a new 5.1beta CSB build available soonish though. I'll try the card on it then. Andreas, I've checked where it could be possible generating this problem and my suspects of firmware problem increased. Are you willing to test a kernel that will be a bit more verbose when the problem happens? Hello, no problem, I'll gladly try the debugging kernel. I think I'll have access to the test-rig next week or the week after. So the answer might take a bit unfortunately. :( Aristeu, I got access to the test-rig today but could only install the rhel5 2.6.18-8 kernel on the box. The problem is the same though, down to the stacktrace. I'll have access to the system from now on, so I'd be glad to try your debugging kernel. Andreas, did you tried other firmware versions? I tried the latest firmware there is, which is from 2005. ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/async/linux/cyc_async-700-1.tar.gz Andreas, the test kernels are in: http://people.redhat.com/arozansk/cyclades/ try to get the dmesg output and attach here (using serial console may help) (In reply to comment #8) > http://people.redhat.com/arozansk/cyclades/ > try to get the dmesg output and attach here (using serial console may help) I just tried your kernel and it's looking quite good right now. The system is stable, firmware has been loaded into the card and the cyclades.ko module has been loaded as well. serial output is rather sparse right now: Cyclades driver 2.3.2.20 2004/02/25 18:14:16 built Sep 19 2007 13:54:39 Cyclades-8Zo/PCI #1: 0xff500000-0xff57ffff, 8 channels starting from port 0. I'll leave the machine running over night and do some tests tomorrow but right now it's looking quite good as the box locked up in the past nearly instantly after loading the firmware. Andreas, any news? it's still running? Andreas, any updates on this one? Sorry, missed that. Thx for the heads-up. System seems to be running fine for some time now in production use. OK, this is strange. The patch does nothing but warn when it gets too many packets from the card. Please try it with the newest RHEL5 kernel you have access and tell me how it goes. Andreas, any news? Sorry, forgot about that. Newest kernels are fine. It's currently been running for a month without too much troubles with 2.6.18-59.el5bbHPmgmtxen, a special xen build von brew. I'd say, close that bug. |
