Hi all, I'm having a peculiar problem.
Briefly, my platform is MPC857DSL IAD board from Motorola. I'm using U-boot 0.4.8 to bootp the kernel(2.4.18 and 2.4.22) through SCC1 and then load NFS. If I configure the kernel with only SCC1, then everything works well(NFS works and ping through eth0 works). If I configure the kernel with only FEC (in fec.c PDPAR[UT]=0,UTMOD[SPLIT]=1,ENCTRL[FEC_PIN_MUX]=1), then everything works well through FEC which is hooked up to a RealTek RTL8305S switch. But if I configure the kernel to use both SCC1 and FEC, SCC1 works and FEC doesn't. NFS and ping run well through SCC1(eth0). But when I try to ping out through FEC(eth1), I get ring buffer dumps and no ping response: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out eth1: transmit timed out.
