Oic. Thanks for your information. I think netfn 2b cmd 1c is the garbage as our code didn't have such netfn and cmd returned. Thus, I would suspect the timing of the bmc/os/driver didn't match and caused it... BTW, I looked into the mv3.1 driver, it did checked for this incorrect response as well, wonder why with the same bmc code but no issue on mv3.1. Timing ??? :)

If the file include/linux/lsppatchlevel.h is not present in the kernel sources, then it is probably an old version without this check. I hunted down the scenario I was thinking about, and I was somewhat incorrect. That problem was the reason this log exists now. It was a BMC that was actually returning an incorrect response and the driver was misbehaving, so I added this log and some additional checks. At this point I would suspect the BMC is doing something wrong. -Corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
