As I do not, at present, have access to a SL 6.0 system I've tested on my RHEL 6.0 based laptop. By using the "double grep" technique I see -- [quote] [ajb@Duo2 ~]$ grep 8086 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 10c9 /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d000010C9sv*sd*bc*sc*i* igb /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d000010C9sv*sd*bc*sc*i* igb [ajb@Duo2 ~]$ grep 8086 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 10e8 /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d000010E8sv*sd*bc*sc*i* igb /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d000010E8sv*sd*bc*sc*i* igb [/quote] -- where the 8086:10c9 device is "good" and the 8086:01eb device is "bad". So the distro igb driver should be appropriate for both devices. You mention that you have another system with 8086:01eb devices. Does that system also suffer from the same "hanging" issue? What I am trying to determine is whether it is a general problem with the distro igb driver and 8086:01eb devices or if it is just a problem with the 8086:01eb device in the Super Micro based system. Even before I see your response, I will mention that there is an updated igb driver available as a kernel independent, kABI tracking kmod package in the elrepo repository. Assuming you have the standard SL 6.0 installation, the following would allow you to install the updated driver -- [code] yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo elrepo install kmod-igb telinit 6 [/code] If, after testing, the issue is still present then the removal of the updated driver would be the inverse of the above -- [code] yum remove kmod-igb telinit 6 [/code] Alan.
