 |
|
Hi Community...
I got a new Problem. When I want to have a rsync session, the System hung up in a few minutes.
| Code: | | Jan 30 21:49:43 G4 kernel: eth0: RX MAC fifo overflow smac[02010400]. |
This is the problem, which is in /var/log/messges!
How can I fix this?
| Code: | uname -a
Linux G4 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 29 23:55:07 CET 2011 ppc 7447A, altivec supported PowerMac3,6 GNU/Linux |

No solution for that? Am I the only one who has that problem?

If this isn't already fixed with a newer kernel, please try to bisect the problem! If you need help with this process, please feel free to ask.

Unfortunately it is not yet fixed. A newer kernel has nothing changed on this Problem. So I need help and feel free to ask you.

But not so often, like the kernel before.
I have send 8GByte data over SSH with rsync. No Systemcrash. But the messages in /var/log/messages are not fine.
In the past not more than 350MByte was successfull til systemcrash. It is much better, but why do I got this bad messages.

just reply again to the last one who offered you a patch
and CC all the others (including the linux kernel mailing list, etc.)
something like:
| Quote: | to: ...
CC: linux-kernel@..., ..., ...
*Bump*
I still get the same error message, not so often anymore than before but it's still leading to a systemcrash
any other patches please ? |
(attach the error messages, kernel-version, pastebin-address to kernel-config, etc. etc.)

I have made a new Gentoo System on my PowerMac Dual G4.
I use the Kernel 3.5.7-gentoo and the Kernel 3.7.6-vanilla. On both Kernel I got already the FIFO Problem like before with Kernel 2.6x!
My Powermac G4 hangs on Cisco Switch 2960G. So I fixed it by setting 'SPEED 100' on on Port where G4 hangs on!
The Problem I reported already exists.
