 Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 3:28 am Post subject: Issues with 8139too and 2.6.31 kernel |
 |
|
Just loaded up Gentoo on a new Dell Power Edge T105 server and I'm having some weird problems with the nic 'timing out' on receive packets.
I get the following in the logs:
| Code: | Jan 3 20:45:41 comp kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------

I thought I fixed this by adjusting window_scaling in sysctl, but it didn't stick. I'm a little lost as to what to the problem is.. or the fix. Googling offered some similar errors from WAY back. This is a extra nic I had laying around, but I've definitely used Realtek 8139 chipset nics with 2.6 kernels. This is a AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor 4450B box.. so not sure if it's the Athlon vs. Intel chipset in combination.
Anyone have any ideas where to look? Let me know if you'd like me to supply additional information, etc.
Thanks!

| Can you try an another nic to see if the problem will be gone or not ? |

Hello d2_racing
I'll pickup another nic (non-8139) tomorrow. I've been having problems with the broadcom onboard nic.. and that's the reason I went with the realtek. Here is my post related to that: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-809498-highlight-0x45e1.html. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to get the onboard going again. This seems to be WAY more difficult than what I would expect. Very odd.

And if the problem is still there even with new nic, maybe your motherboard is buggy.
Maybe you should update your bios if you don't have any idea. |

Thanks. I have a feeling it's kernel related though. Live CD worked fine during the install, etc.
Thanks!

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538920
Try it out with git-sources, see how you go. If this error disappears (note other unrelated errors should be ignored) just a problem with your current kernel indeed, that'll be fixed in a later build of your sources.
You might also look at reverting to one of the 2.6.30 builds and see if those don't prove more stable.
I've had horrendous luck with all of the 2.6.31 kernels (tried both zen-sources and gentoo-sources)
Things have gone swimmingly since 2.6.32-zen1 (am on .32-zen3 now), and likewise went fine on .30 builds.

Thanks for the reply! I'm surprised I didn't run across this bug early in my searches?
I went back to a older kernel (2.6.30-gentoo-r and everything seems to be working now. Thanks much for pointing me in that direction! I'll run a few more tests today to see if things are indeed better.

Crap.. running additional heavy transfer tests (under 50MBs via LAN) and it timed out again!

I'm running the latest BIOS version currently. Just checked with Dell's site.

I've encountered similar problem. Unfortunately it's my mom's pc which I administer remotely so it's impossible to check with other hardware. If I recall correctly there is 8139too PCI card.
Some time ago started problems with detecting network card. In logs I found
| Code: | | 8139too 0000:01:09.0: Chip not responding, ignoring board |
and sometimes when card is detected there was other error after a while:

Connection was lost then.
Often computer must be rebooted two times before network is working (this is simpler than telling Mom how to restart network).
I'm not sure when this started, so I can't check what changes I made since then. I thought it was faulty card, but maybe it's not. |

I went back to the original problem of getting the onboard broadcom nic to work. I was able to get the running config from the liveCD and build a new kernel using that, and I have a stable nic now.

would still be curious to see if this persisted with one of the somewhat scarily bleeding edge kernels, e.g. git-sources, or even zen-sources (stable) actually
the .31 series on every *-sources I tried was awful for me
Many have said .32 is no better with gentoo-sources.
Right now running .32-zen3 and couldn't be happier. |
