Description of problem:
 On several systems IBM eServer BladeCenter LS20 -[885011Z]-, IBM BladeCenter
HS20 -[884321Z]- Driver loads but link is never detected. Both types of systems
have dual Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
network cards.

Logs:

 http://rhts.lab.boston.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/system.cgi?id=76
 http://rhts.lab.boston.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/system.cgi?id=110

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 2.6.20-12.el5rt

How reproducible:
 Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install kernel on above systems
  
Actual results:
 The systems installs fine with RHEL5 GA, Once the RT kernel boots they no
longer see link.

Expected results:
 System should work as expected.

Additional info:
 This seems to be caused by the tg3 priority fix that was added to the build
 See thread mail on rhel-rt-kernel "Kernel 2.6.20-12.el5rt tg3 driver issues"

Comment 1 keith mannth 2007-04-13 18:13:43 UTC
If you revert the patch then the tg3 link works?  

  Sorry I had not tested with the RHEL kernel + tg3 as of yet as there is other
unexplained behavior which seemed to mask tg3 issue all together. I had only
sent the patch out for RFC and had only tested with 2.6.21-rt[something]. 

 I will have a look on an LS20.  

Comment 2 Clark Williams 2007-04-13 18:50:27 UTC
Keith,

Yes, we reverted the tg3 patch and the link worked. The patch works fine on
single tg3 systems (at least all the ones I've tried). Only seems to fail on
dual/multi-NIC systems.

Closing as duplicate of the original tg3 hack bug
