Since I thought I had fixed the problem in Redhat Linux 7.3, I upgraded to
8.0. The upgrade went normally, but I am again getting the wait_for_cmd
timeouts.
On the first boot after install, I was told that the Firewire/IEEE1394 port
was recognized as new hardware. I thought it might be causing the renewed
trouble since it is sharing IRQ 10, but removing the module with rmmod
doesn't seem to be helping.
Question: Would it be worth my time to rebuild the kernel with ohci1394
support disabled?
The timeouts occur occasionally during email downloads and frequently
during http exchanges. By pinging my local firewall to detect outages and
bouncing eth0 when they occur, I can keep the link up enough for low data
rate work, but major data transfers like ftp downloads or up2date runs are
slowed badly by very frequent eth0 bounces.
I tried building the newer network drivers from the Scyld site but received
numerious compile errors. I will be trying again today and will send a
separate email detailing my results.
I have included extracts from several sources that I hope are significant
for troubleshooting the problem.
Question: Is there is more (or less) I should be looking at?
Note: The dhcp terminating messages are because I am calling
/etc/sysconfig/ifdown and /etc/sysconfig/ifup to bounce eth0.
