Description Need Real Name 2007-03-26 12:26:09 UTC

Description of problem: 
No network when using kernel-2.6.20-* x86_64 (and kernel-2.6.19-* x86_64)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.5.5 (February 1, 2007)

How reproducible:
Allways


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the machine
2.The machine boots but no network

  
Actual results:
No network

Expected results:
A working network

Additional info:
Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.4.44 (August 10,
2006)kernel-2.6.18-* x86_64 is OK. AND FOR SOME REASON ALSO ALL ABOWNAMED
KERNELS ARE OK WHEN 32-BIT-KERNEL VERSIONS.

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2007-03-26 18:58:38 UTC

Exactly which model of adapter is this?

Please post results of "lspci -n" command.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2007-03-26 19:28:28 UTC

The machine is Dell PowerEdge 2900 Server. BIOS is version 1.2.0.
The PowerEdge™ 2900 has a dual embedded Broadcom® NetXtreme II 5708 Gigabit
Ethernet NIC. TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) is included in the Broadcom 5708 LOM
feature set and is enabled. Both ports and Offload Engine are enabled in BIOS,
but only one port is enabled when "booted" (system-config-network).

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2007-03-27 18:17:48 UTC

Can you try disabling TOE? Also try booting with "pci=nomsi" kernel option.

Comment 6 Chuck Ebbert 2007-03-28 14:19:56 UTC

Using pci=nomsi fixes the problem (reported via email.)

Leaving bug open for tracking since it's not really fixed.

Comment 7 Chuck Ebbert 2007-03-30 22:04:00 UTC

We are going to make pci=nomsi the default on the next kernel update.
