Hello,
I would like to report some related phenomenon.
I installed NCP (Nexenta Core Platform) 3, which an OpenSolaris distribution
on this mainboard
(->http://www.pointofview-online.com/showroom.php?shopmode=productdetail&product_id=117).
It is an ION ATOM330 with an nvidia chipset. The NIC chipset is a PCI-e Realtek
RTL8111/8168B.
PCI scan says...
04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 03)
Initially the driver from '/etc/drives_aliases' is gani (v2.6.2)
r...@znas:~# grep 8168 /etc/driver_aliases
gani "pci10ec,8168"
gani "pciex10ec,8168"
if I boot with this the NIC isn't even attached, 'dmesg | grep gani' says...
Feb 17 04:35:41 nas gani: [ID 217474 kern.info] gani0: ilr 0x0000010a
Feb 17 04:35:41 nas gani: [ID 825931 kern.info] gani0: ddi_regs_map_setup
failed (ret:-1)
Feb 17 04:37:09 nas gani: [ID 217474 kern.info] gani0: ilr 0x0000010a
Feb 17 04:37:09 nas gani: [ID 825931 kern.info] gani0: ddi_regs_map_setup
failed (ret:-1)
So I tried gani 2.6.4 but with the same outcome...
So I installed rge-6888015-14 and edited /etc/driver_aliases to
r...@znas:~# grep 8168 /etc/driver_aliases
gani "pci10ec,8168"
rge "pciex10ec,8168"
+ 'touch /reconfigure' + 'init 6'
same, the NIC does not come up rge complains in dmesg "ddi_regs_map_setup
failed (ret:-1)"
then I installed rge-6888015-8 reboot and the NIC comes up, but it hangs under
heavy load '/var/log/messages' says...
Feb 20 21:24:31 znas rge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0: Tx stall
detected, watchdog code 0x1ffff
Feb 20 21:24:32 znas rge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0: automatic
recovery activated
Feb 20 21:33:10 znas rge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0: Tx stall
detected, watchdog code 0x1ffff
Feb 20 21:33:11 znas rge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: rge0: automatic
recovery activated
btw the mav_ver of this NIC is
r...@znas:~# kstat -m rge | grep mac_ver
mac_ver 671088640
I will happily act as "remotable test dummy" and gather all necessary
information.
If someone (maybe Murayama-san) would like to take a look at this.
It is also possible to provide a remote ssh root shell to this box.
with kindest regards,
patrick.
