Description of problem: We have our favorite problem with the bnx2 drivers again with this box whereby the loading of the module causes the SOL traffic to drop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel4u8 1.7.9-2 bnx2 driver doesn't work (tested 2.6.9-89.0.9.EL) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try configuring the serial console on it and slapping on the latest RHEL4 public kernel on it and you'll watch the SOL session drop just after the bnx2 modules load... > rc.afs: /sbin/sysctl -w afs.hm_retry_int=60 >/dev/null 2>&1 > rc.afs: /sbin/sysctl -w afs.hm_retry_RW=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 > rc.afs: /sbin/sysctl -w afs.hm_retry_RO=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 > rc.afs: /sbin/sysctl -w afs.GCPAGs=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 > rc.afs: /sbin/sysctl -w afs.md5inum=1 > /dev/null 2>& 1 || true > rc.afs: touch /var/lock/subsys/afs > rc.afs: Booting into q.ny.ms.com, as per /etc/vice/etc/Th > SOL session is temporarily not available. > Attempting to re-establish your session ... Actual results: SOL doesn't work on EL4.8 Expected results: SOL works fine on EL4.8 Additional info: And stays like that until you unload the driver during reboot and then it suddenly comes back to life. RHEL5 seems fine. ---------------------------------------------
