Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
Event posted on 10-19-2009 07:12am EDT by Glen Johnson =Comment: #0================================================= Jeremy M. Savoy <jsavoy.com> - ---Problem Description--- On HS22 + BComm 57710/57711 10G ethernet, the nic will not get an ip address most of the time on fresh boots. You have to manually remove the module and reload it or restart networking, sometimes several times before the interface works properly. These messages were observed in syslog: [bnx2x_set_int_mode:6821(eth2)]Multi requested but failed to enable MSI-X set number of queues to 1 [bnx2x_wait_ramrod:6724(eth2)]timeout waiting for state 3000 on IDX [0] [bnx2x_nic_load:6958(eth2)]Setup leading failed! Contact Information = jsavo.com ---Additional Hardware Info--- HS22 + BComm 57710/57711 10G ethernet card ---uname output--- RHEL 5.4 GA Machine Type = HS22 ---Steps to Reproduce--- Install RHEL 5.4 on HS22 + Bcomm 57710/57711 10G ethernet. Boot into the system and see if you get dhcp address on the 10G interface. If you do get it consistently, try creating a bridge over that 10G interface, this will certainly cause the failure.

Savoy <jsavoy.com> - I compiled and installed the latest driver from IBM Test (one stop shop), version 1.50.19. The adapter gets dhcp address when bridged on every boot, consistently. Also, the MSI-X error messages are no longer present, but instead I see this: Broadcom NetXtreme II 5771x 10Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2x 1.50.19 ($DateTime: 2009/10/01 10:08:14 $) bnx2x: part number 394D4342-31373735-30314130-473036 bnx2x: part number 394D4342-31373735-30314130-473036 bnx2x: eth2: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 170 fp[0] 186 ... fp[1] 194 bnx2x: eth3: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 202 fp[0] 218 ... fp[1] 226 bnx2x: eth2 NIC Link is Up, 10000 Mbps full duplex That was the latest bnx2x driver, fyi This event sent from IssueTracker by jkachuck [IBM-LTC] issue 355557

Event posted on 10-20-2009 12:09pm EDT by jkachuck Hello, It appears there is already a request for the module to be updated: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515716 It appears this is the same update. This BZ is current accepted for RHEL 5.5. Please let me know if you would like this issue connected to the the feature request.

Event posted on 10-20-2009 04:04pm EDT by Glen Johnson ------- Comment From linuxram.com 2009-10-20 15:57 EDT------- unfortunately the upstream driver also has the same issue. :( . The problem does not show up on (amd) LS21 blades. Something to do with ufi?

mchan @ BRCM: can you tell if a fix for this has been included already in bug 515716?
Need to ask Eilon, added him to CC.
Please test if packages provided here fix the issue: http://people.redhat.com/sgruszka/rhel5.5-broadcom/ Please let me know if package for any other cpu arch is needed.
I believe this is waiting on IBM to test, correct Stanislaw?
Yes.

Ram Pai at IBM has agreed to test the broadcom test kernel. He should post results for you later today. Peter Bogdanovic IBM On-site Engineer
issue cannot be reproduced with the new kernel. Tried a couple of times.
Since bug is fixed by RHEL5.5 driver update I'm closing it as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 515716 ***
