Greetings. We just bought a bunch of 3Com Baseline 2824 and 2816-SFP Plus Switches and 1000Base-SX SFP Fiber Optics modules. We installed them a last Friday, and boy have they improved our network performance. Everything is working a lot faster.
However, we have several LinkSys LNE100TX network cards with PXE eproms from DisklessWorkstations.com that don't seem to like the new switches. All of the other workstations work fine. These, however, boot up to the point where it tries to mount nfs. Then I get: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of c5e1. nfs: server 192.168.1.6 not responding, still trying nfs: server 192.168.1.6 not responding, still trying nfs: server 192.168.1.6 not responding, still trying And it just hangs. /var/log/messages doesn't give any messages, either. If I run these workstations through our old Netgear GS108 switches, they work, albiet still slowly. I've tried passing all sorts of different kernel parameters without any success. I've tried various combinations of the following: MOPTS=nolock,ro,wsize=2048,rsize=2048 NFSOPTS="-o nolock,ro,wsize=2048,rsize=2048" NFSOPTS="-o nolock,ro,proto=tcp" NFSOPTS="-o etx" VID=1317 NIC=0985 NICOPT=options=5 I think it has to do with needing to pass the Tulip driver some parameters, but I can't seem to figure out what. Does anybody have any idea what might get these cards working again? Any help will be appreciated very much.
