But thanks. Ok, well - that makes it somewhat of a stalemate - can't release w/o a tested patch.

Bug#435474: Package: qa - Suggest to upgrade severity of Sky2 module problem
Package: qa Hello First of all thank you for all the work that you and others do on the Debian project. I'd suggest to upgrade the problem with the sky2 module to "severe" because at least in my case it makes Debian Etch unusable as a Server with the Sky2 module. System: Linux rocktunes 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Wed May 9 23:03:12 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux Latest etch with all upgrades. rocktunes:/var/log/apache2# lspci -v -s 3:0 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Gigabyte) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 50 Memory at f100 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] I/O ports at 9000 [size=256] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 8000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [5c] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable+ Capabilities: [e0] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting After doing some research I found that the sky2 module is already known to be broken (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/) - but this page suggests that this only affects the installation and not a running system. But in the case of our server all seemed to run fine for months but since three weeks or so every now and then all network traffic stops - without any apparant reason - and it's not fixed by itself. Jul 24 14:33:20 rocktunes kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Jul 24 14:33:20 rocktunes kernel: sky2 status report lost? Jul 24 14:40:15 rocktunes kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Jul 24 14:40:15 rocktunes kernel: sky2 hardware hung? flushing At first I thought of some other problem - switch, cable, whatever. But I never thought that such a severe bug would be unresolved in a stable etch release. So I strongly suggest to remove the sky2 driver at all - it even seems that there are several other issues with that module in later kernels and this makes a Debian GNU/Linux server with NICs using sky2 unusable.
