Description

The next RHEL4 update will include a later version of the forcedeth driver (0.60). Test kernels that contain a patch for this (and a few other test patches) are available here: http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/#rhel4 Feel free to test these kernels and let us know if they resolve your issue. Thanks! Adding Ayaz Abdulla to cc list. restoring needinfo, hadn't meant to remove that. Will try to test soon. I've verified that 2.6.9-55.21.EL.gtest.26.1 with forcedeth 0.60 fixes the IPMI sideband issue, and it also addresses a locking bug that had been problematic for us with nvidia's 0.60 and 0.62. It appears that you'll want to merge 3ba4d093fe8a26f5f2da94411bf8732fa6e9da86 from upstream as well. Note that 0.62 "Driver Package 1.23" is now available from nvidia.com. Thanks for the great work! This driver looks much better now. Glad to hear that is working for you, Andy! The last commit I pulled into this update was actually: commit 6fedae1f6e66ab5f169bf58064e23e015fc1307d Author: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla> Date: Tue Feb 20 03:34:44 2007 -0500 So I pulled before the one you recommended. commit 3ba4d093fe8a26f5f2da94411bf8732fa6e9da86 Author: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla> Date: Fri Mar 23 05:50:02 2007 -0500 It probably won't make the upcoming update (4.6), but I'll pull together some of the latest upstream fixes for my test kernels and hopefully push them into 4.7. If it's OK with you I'd like to close out this bug since your main IPMI issue seems to be resolved. Seem reasonable? (In reply to comment #5) > If it's OK with you I'd like to close out this bug since your main IPMI issue > seems to be resolved. Seem reasonable? Sounds good to me, but I'd like to make sure 3ba4d09 doesn't fall through the cracks (I'll be maintaining it locally until it shows up in RHEL4.7 or whatever). Would you like to open a new ticket or shall I? Closing since the IPMI issue is resolved. Opened bug 253592 to deal with new patch request. |
