Hi, I have a problem with the Broadcom BCM5704C (Dual Gigabit Ethernet) which is used by one of our servers (newsfeeder with 5.1-RELEASE and diablo). The interfaces go down frequently if they have traffic (diablo started) and I see the following kernel messages:
kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting kernel: bge1: watchdog timeout -- resetting After this, the interfaces are up again for about 10-15 minutes. The server is a Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX300 with one Xeon 2,4Ghz and 2GB RAM: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/rl/products/primergy/rx300.html What I've done so far and what didn't help: - Compiled a kernel with and without SMP/APIC (also switched Hyperthreading and APIC on/off in bios) - tried various mediaopts/mediatypes on the interfaces and/or the switch (Cisco 2924-XL, no VLAN, IOS 12.05.(2XU)), both are running on auto now (100 BASE/TX, full-duplex, no crc errors). - tried different drivers: http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Broadcom/5705/ => worked, but the problem was still there (even with _very_ low traffic) http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Broadcom/busdma/ => didn't work, I was unable to compile the kernel. => the driver which is shipped with 5.1-R is now used again. - tried a different mtu (1505) on bge0. Any help on solving this issue would be nice.
