Has anyone seen this? While testing new systems I have observed that the 3rd on board ethernet stops working after days of moderate network load testing. I'm unable to ping out via the interface, or ping to the interface's ip address from outside. No errors are observed in logs, ifconfig, route, or ethtool. If I manually reconfigure the interface with ifconfig it works fine. (Leading me to think the driver or chipset gets in an odd state and needs to be reset.)
This occurs with the current RHEL kernel (2.6.18-128) as well as the latest beta kernel (2.6.18-155) from Red Hat. This is does not occur on the 2950 or the 1950 with the same kernel and the exact same test. PS-Yes I've -Tried the firmware update for the ethernet controller. (The update file claims I'm up to date) The system reports it is running the latest bios. -Unloaded iptables modules (firewall) -Swapped cables, and ports on the switch _______________________________________________ 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
