hi all,
I just just compiled a 2.2.18 kernel from the vanilla source .
on a dual pentium box with two Intel EEPRO interfaces.
rev 5 & rev 9 I think
and I am using the newest 1.12 eepro driver from donald becker.
well, everything seems to work fine..except:
at boot up (or everytime I restart the network of course)
I get folowing error message:
eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0000 0090 at 0/7 commands 0001a000
00020000 00030000
(you'll find a more complete dmesg dump at the end of this message)
so, question:
can I overlook this, is it important, I am concerned about the satbility of
this box because I had the "reporting no rx buffers" error message a few
months ago.
What I did back then is switch to the intel drivers, but I cant use
those any more since I
am using the 2.2.18 kernel now.
(I believe the 2.2.18 doesnt incoporate the udelay function anymore,
instead there is a
mdelay, which is of course more acurate, but counts in milliseconds
instead of microseconds)
My watered down sys specs: RH6.2, N440BX Intel MB, SMP kernel but only
one processor in the system
thx alot for all replies, erik
here is the output of a few diag programs also frmo donald becker:
(these were all done after the system had been running for a while (2h),
after I did a test
copy of 2.5GB over the network to see if it is stable and after I shut
down the network)
