Description Bill Nottingham 2006-02-07 19:00:35 UTC
Description of problem:

The hardware:

04:01.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5700 Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 12) (14e4:1644)

The software:

kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1914_FC5
autofs-4.1.4-16.2

What happens:

Using static IPs on the tg3 card, and the following autofs maps:

/mnt ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.mnt,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
/misc
ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.misc,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
--timeout=60
/home
ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
--timeout=60

the tg3 card works, until autofs tries to mount something (in this case,
/mnt/redhat). At which point all traffic comes to a dead stop.

e1000 works fine.

With 2.6.15-1.1939_FC5, it seems better - it doesn't shut down networking
entirely, it just gives superblock errors trying to mount the NFS filesystems.

Comment 2 John W. Linville 2006-02-13 20:37:17 UTC
Does this imply a data corruption problem? 

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2006-02-13 20:39:35 UTC
In tg3? Don't know. What sort of data would you need?

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2006-02-16 22:03:40 UTC
And... in .1955_FC5... it works. So, closing.
