suggested patch from upstream
Pete, I presume the patch attached in comment#5 fixes the issue for you? Did a BIOS update fix it too or were you not able to try that? For reference this is the upstream patch in comment #5: commit 627c8a041f7aaaea93c766f69bd61d952a277586 Author: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan> Date: Wed May 5 22:00:27 2010 +0000 e1000e: Reset 82577/82578 PHY before first PHY register read Unfortunately, no, the patch in comment #5 does not work. It was suggested that the firmware update may fix it on this box (Intel D3CB1). I'm trying to find it. Our QA folks supposedly had an ISO somewhere (Intel Premier seems sadly useless, therefore the delay). That's too bad. I've been seeing errors with e1000e lately that appear to be 'fixed in firmware' but I've been holding out hope that there are some software workarounds too. Looks like that is not the case with this one. :-/ This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** Pete, can you test the latest kernel again? I've added a bunch of e1000e patches since you opened this -- several of them resolved PHY issues. Also did this only happen when PXE booting or all the time? I can test. Do you mean latest upstream or latest RHEL 6? If upstream, from what tree (I would prefer Linus' -rcX tip). BTW, the firmware upgrade fell through. Intel posted an update, but they specifically excluded the mainboard type that I have as too old. Latest RHEL6, was all I was asking. You can test the latest from Linus' tree if you like for a data-point if you like. If this is an Intel SDV that they are no longer supporting we can try and make something work, but unfortunately their lack of support doesn't make me interested in working too much on it either. I can find a way to ship you another card if you really need one. :-) Latest git of RHEL6 (2.6.32-50) isn't helping. I think it's a lost cause, closing. |
