This discussion is very interesting, as I have a pair of R710's and I have been running CentOS 5.4 on them. I have not encountered any NIC issues and have not had to make any modprobe.conf changes, but I am saving these messages for future reference in case we do see anything. We have just started to do production work with these boxes but haven't put them under really heavy load yet. What does disable_msi actually do? --Greg _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
