=Comment: #2=================================================
Thomas Klein <TKLEIN.com> - 
The ehea module is load but there's an issue configuring the interface. From the output provided so
far I can't tell for sure but this smells a bit like an issue with yaboot we have seen earlier.
Please check the dmesg output for messages indicating the hcalls done by the ehea driver fail. If
this is the case I would assume we're dealing with the same issue here.

=Comment: #8=================================================
Pavan Naregundi <pavan.naregundi.com> - 

I could not see any dmesg errors related to ehea

#dmesg  | grep ehea
ehea: eth0: Jumbo frames are enabled
ehea: eth0 -> logical port id #7
ehea: eth1: Jumbo frames are enabled
ehea: eth1 -> logical port id #8

=Comment: #9=================================================
Pavan Naregundi <pavan.naregundi.com> - 
We can also reproduce this issue even with direct booting with netboot image(ppc64.img) without the
yaboot.

or

while booting through cd give following parameters in boot prompt and when it comes to configure the
network, it fails

boot: linux vnc=1
boot: linux rescue=1
boot:linux ssh=1

=Comment: #14=================================================
Thomas Klein <TKLEIN.com> - 
comment #8 indicates that the ehea interfaces are setup properly by the driver. So it's obviously
_not_ the yaboot issue I suspected earlier. If the interface is setup but the installer has problems
configuring it it looks more like a problem of the installer itself. We saw this kind of problem in
nearly all distributions earlier. I guess we need someone who is familiar with the Fedora installer
and who knows how to get logs from the installer and howto interpret them.

=Comment: #17=================================================
Tony Breeds <tonyb.com> - 
Things have changed in the Fedora world quite a bit recently can we retest with the current rawhide

Tested rawhide build. Still I could reproduce the problem.

Redhat, For your awareness and support. Thanks!

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2009-04-21 15:43:28 UTC
Could you please attach whatever messages you are seeing on tty3 and tty4?  If that is not available, you'll need to grab /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog and attach them to this bug.  Without those files, it's going to be very hard to tell what's going on here.  Thanks.

Also please do make sure you are testing with rawhide.  Lots of things are changing very quickly with anaconda.

Hi Red Hat team - is there anything else you need from the IBM team?  Since the ehea adapter is the on-board ethernet adapter on all Power 6 and follow on systems this is an important bug to get to root cause on.

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2009-05-04 16:05:34 UTC
Network devices are handled by NetworkManager for the most part these days, and there are some suspicious error messages in your syslog that indicates it could be NM at fault here.

Comment 8 James Laska 2009-05-15 13:24:02 UTC
Dan: Any thoughts on this bug?  Looks like NetworkManager is not properly activating devices on an IBM Power6 system.  

Is there additional information do you need to isolate this issue?

IBM: Given the rapid development nature of Fedora, if you can confirm this issue still exists on rawhide (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Direct_Rawhide_install).

This does look like a problem in NetworkManager.  The syslog output shows a number of errors from NM, some of which are normal on bring-up, but in the end it does not recognize the interfaces associated with ehea, which are eth0 and eth1.

To troubleshoot it further would require debugging of Networkmanager or perhaps D-bus monitoring.  It would be helpful to have a better understanding of how NM recognizes new devices.  It may not be a problem with ehea driver per se, but the way it presents itself on d-bus.

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2009-05-19 15:50:43 UTC
For the record: Bugzappers and QA group discussed whether this issue should be a blocker for F11 release, but decided against on the grounds it's come to our attention quite late (sorry) and affects a fairly small class of hardware.

Comment 12 James Laska 2009-05-19 15:58:45 UTC
Are you able to do a non-network installation (DVD or CD) ... does the post-install system exhibit the same issues?

Dan: Any other debugging suggestions IBM can do to help diagnose the root cause of this issue?

Yes. We could do a DVD install. However, I have faced related to ehea ethernets, i.e. everytime when I reboot the machine I need to do a ifup even though ONBOOT=yes as shown below.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Computer
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:1a:64:45:88:fe
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=9.126.89.1
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=9.126.89.199
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
PEERDNS=yes

result does not differ if NM_CONTROLLED=no or yes

Comment 14 James Laska 2009-05-20 12:39:36 UTC
I suspect that might be the root cause of the issue.  Can you continue diagnosing the failure on a DVD installed system.  Why does the network not start during boot?

Anything interesting in /var/log/messages, /var/log/dmesg etc... ?

------- Comment From hellerda.com 2009-05-25 23:37 EDT-------
This problem is easily reproducible on a JS22 blade, and so would seem to affect all systems with ehea Ethernet.  Also, per some testing by Pavan, the behavior seems to be the same pre-install or post-install: NetworkManager does recognize the interfaces associated with ehea.

In the syslog output, the errors are consistently seen: "nm_device_ethernet_new: assertion `driver != NULL' failed" when NM is trying to detect ehea interfaces.  And there is never a message of the form "new Ethernet device (driver: 'xxxxxx')" for ehea, as (it would seem) there should be.  I have attached (good) syslog output from an x86 box with "e1000" interfaces, for comparison.

I think the problem may be the way the ehea interfaces are recognized by HAL.  HAL can detect the interfaces but not the ehea adapter itself.  On an e1000 system with PCI, the adapter is recognized (with info.linux.driver = 'e1000') and the "net_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx" object appears as a child of that.  On an ehea system with ibmebus, the "net_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx" object appears directly under the parent of "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer", and the adapter is not recognized at all.  There is no device with info.linux.driver = 'ehea' on the P6 system.  See attached lshal output for comparison.

I think this bug is related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238626.  The patch allows HAL to recognize devices on ibmebus.  It was apparently integrated into hal-0.5.8 for RHEL5, but as far as I can tell it has not been brought forward to hal-0.5.12 for FC11.  (There are no references to ibmebus in hal-0.5.12-26.20090226git.fc11.src.rpm).  The patch would have be applied to "device.c", with some minor syntax changes.  I believe this would allow HAL to recognize the ehea adapter, and that would fix NetworkManager.

I think this could be tested by patching hald in FC11 Anaconda, but I have not had a chance to do that yet.

Comment 20 James Laska 2009-05-26 13:32:08 UTC
davidz: IBM has identified that the hal patch in rh bug#238626 may not have been applied to Fedora.  See previous comment#19 for a detailed history of this issue.  Do you have any input around this hal issue?  Thanks!

Comment 21 Dan Williams 2009-05-26 20:17:42 UTC
Ideally for F12 we're going to convert the HAL usage to straight udev, which means we need to get driver data from somewhere in sysfs.  But in the end, *any* network device (whether its backed by physical hardware or not) must have a kernel module associated with it, and that kernel module is what the 'driver' should be here.

Modifed the patch mentioned in comment#50

Modified hal patch to fit in to device.c file.

Installed the hal package to with this package on the F11 system. Rebooted the
machine and here are the changes seem by me,

1. lshal --tree shows the ehea drivers in a sub tree under ibmebus(attaching
the lshal output's in next comment)
2. Still Network manager could not start the ehea adapters at the bootup.

Thanks
Pavan

Comment 24 Dan Williams 2009-05-29 18:41:05 UTC
I need full lshal here to ensure the device tree looks correct and that the 'driver' bits are where they need to be.  NM itself may need to be updated to account for the different s390 bus type, but I also need the full lshal output for that.

We will provide further output ASAP, thanks for your patience.  Hopefully the HAL patch will lead to the fix for NetworkManager.  But the patch would seem to have been required in any event, since HAL was clearly not recognizing devices on the ibmebus without it.

Thanks, fixes that should work committed upstream:

b9bdc5da4b968ff24b12d8b37f05605153bfbd8a (master)
4c36f7c0b607813753072acf1bec14414494948c (0.7.x)

Obviously I have no way to test.  This still will show up soon in rawhide and an F11 update.

Comment 29 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 14:17:34 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

RedHat,

Tested by updating the wpa_supplicant, NetworkManager and mobile-broadband-provider-info packages. But these updates alone does not seem to work for this bug. hal(0.5.12-26.20090226git.fc11) package still has not included the patch mentioned in comment #23. Please update the hal package with that patch.

Thanks

Richard,
can you please take a look at the above hal patch? It seams the only way to get rid of the non working ehea devices on power6 systems. Thank you.

I'm hesitant to accept a patch that won't go upstream. Surely this just needs to be patched in NetworkManager to accept an interface not backed by a device?

Change the Severity to 'urgent' to shows up for the F12 blocker bug meeting at Friday. 

The bugs blocks actually RHEL 6 (511304). Therefore I'm not able to
add them to F12Blocker.

I've pulled in 0.5.13 into fedora rawhide, which means that it will be fixed for fedora 12, and if RHEL 6 happens to be based on something similar to f12, it'll be fixed for that too.

It's now up to me (or someone else) to cherry pick this but for Fedora 11.

Comment 47 Richard Hughes 2009-07-29 13:01:21 UTC
Clearing RHEL6 blocker as it's incorrect and misleading.

As far as F12 is concerned, this bug is fixed as a package is already built with this patch for rawhide.

Just in case anyone was wondering, RHEL != Fedora. Thanks.

Ahh yes, cvs helpfully didn't apply that hunk of the patch in the spec file. I've fixed this up now:

* Mon Aug 03 2009 Richard Hughes <rhughes> - 0.5.12-28.20090226git
