Description Daniel J Blueman 2003-06-25 10:17:02 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461)

Description of problem:
When initiating the netdump process, the netconsole.o module calls 
netdump_startup_handshake() which never returns, or prints anything on the 
console.

network card is (tg3 driver):

eth0: Tigon3 [partno(TBD) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] (PCIX:100MHz:64-bit) 
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:0b:cd:0f:49:db

The same setup and kernel works perfectly (ie dumps the kernel image) with 
(eepro100 driver):

eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:08:02:10:C4:16, IRQ 5.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.18-19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup netdump client with tg3 network card
2. monitor system/serial console
3. cause client to panic
    

Actual Results:  No memory dump is performed; no further response from netdump 
(ie hangs)

Expected Results:  Memory dump to be spooled to netdump-server
