hy, i have here 2 DL585 with kernel 2.6.18-rc2 on Debian Etch. Kernel Config is attached. I got massiv Problems on the Ethernet. The only Information I got ist : Dead loop on netdevice eth0, fix it urgently! Dead loop on netdevice eth0, fix it urgently! Dead loop on netdevice eth0, fix it urgently! Dead loop on netdevice eth0, fix it urgently! lspci: root@test:[~] > lspci 00:03.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 PCI (rev 07) 00:04.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 LPC (rev 05) 00:04.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE (rev 03) 00:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05) 00:07.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 00:07.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 00:08.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 00:08.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 00:19.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:19.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:19.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:19.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 00:1a.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:1a.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:1a.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:1a.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 00:1b.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:1b.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:1b.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:1b.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:00.0 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 01:00.1 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 01:02.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Controller (rev 01) 01:02.2 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Processor (rev 01) 01:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 02:06.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 04:09.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 04:09.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 04:0a.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 04:0a.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 04:0b.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 04:0b.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 04:0c.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 04:0c.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC (rev 01) 05:0d.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Hewlett-Packard Smart Array P600 root@test:[~] > root@test:[~] > cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 0: 482 34 22438 18 4310 35266 21635089 11711 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 3: 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge serial 4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 IO-APIC-edge serial 6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 IO-APIC-edge floppy 8: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 0 0 0 0 0 0 206 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 0 0 0 0 0 0 12 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 169: 10 1 31 763 4408 10729 5474 3936296 IO-APIC-level cciss0 177: 37 88 21943 66 10208 85684 38962854 38671 IO-APIC-level eth0 185: 82 68 7165 99 333595 109518 18703688 22269 IO-APIC-level eth1 NMI: 851 791 2983 2378 878 1251 11185 6284 LOC: 21710514 21710492 21710467 21710443 21710419 21710395 21710371 21710347 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 -- Ruben Puettmann ruben@puettmann.net http://www.puettmann.net
