Can you run and post the response on your system?

ethtool -i 

and

ethtool -k 


I'm opening up that ticket I had open with Intel again to see if we can some 
traction from that.

Title:
  Intel x550 not negotiating to 10Gb on x299 chipset

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am having an issue with this particular machine auto negotiating
  10Gb. The onboard LOM will only negotiate to 1Gb. If I run `ethtool -s
   advertise 0x1000`, the machine will delink and then negotiate
  to 10Gb and work as expecting. Rebooting the machine (or unplugging
  network cable) will cause it to negotiate to 1G again resulting in
  having to run the ethtool command again.

  This is what I have tried:
  Tried different cable from confirmed working machine that auto negotiates to 
10Gb.
  Tried upgrading ixgbe driver to latest (5.5.3)
  Tried upgrading X550 firmware.
  I put an Intel x540-T1 card in the machine and that card works properly and 
negotiates to 10Gb automatically. Move the cable to the LOM x550, and it still 
negotiates to 1Gb.
  I also tried loading a live version of Fedora 29 (Kernel 4.18) with same 
exact symptoms.

  We have several other machine negotiating fine on the same exact
  switch. I have tried those cables to test this problematic machine
  with same result as above.

  We have a machine that is pretty similar in hardware that is not
  exhibiting this issue. It is an ASUS x99 motherboard, with the same
  LOM Intel x550 card, running on 16.04.

  The machine that is causing problems is an Asus x299 motherboard with
  the Intel x550 LOM card running 18.04 (16.04 won't work on the x299
  chipset for some reason). I have a suspicion that it could potentially
  be related to the x299?

  The only way I have been able to get this problematic machine to
  negotiate to 10Gbps automatically is by plugging a cable directly from
  the LOM x550 of the problematic machine to another machines 10Gb
  network card. Doing that, the problematic machine will negotiate
  properly to 10Gb.

  I'm trying to find another 10Gb switch to test with to see if it could
  be unique to this combination of switch and machine. However, I'm
  reluctant to blame it on the switch since we have about several other
  machine working perfectly fine on the switch (some with the same exact
  x550 LOM).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1812410] Re: Intel x550 not negotiating to 10Gb on x299 chipset

2019-03-27 Thread Kevin
I'm pushing on Dell to push on Intel. Not getting a lot of traction on
that but I'll update if I do. Definitely have this issue on all my Dell
R640s with X550s though.

I also suspect the ixgbe module here. The kernel 4.4.0-141 version is
4.2.1. Going to Ubuntu's 4.15.0-43 kernel takes it to 5.1.0 where the
1Gb negotiation issue pops up. I also tried upgrading ixgbe to 5.5.5 and
saw the same issue, so it isn't fixed yet or anything.

2019-03-25 Thread Kevin
@Kevin (thenewmanium).

I honestly think this is a Intel driver bug. See my thread here on the
Intel forums.

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P4CK4wZSAT/intel-x550-not-
negotiating-to-10gb-on-x299-chipset?language=en_US

Their conclusion was that it was an Asus changed x550 chip. Asus said
they won't fix it because they "don't support linux". Intel told me they
won't do anything because Asus borked with the firmware. I'm basically
stuck in the middle of two vendors not wanting to do anything because
one doesn't support it and the other doesn't want to look at it because
the other vendor changed it.

If you can validate that its the same issue with different hardware, it
might get some traction (fingers crossed).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1812410] Re: Intel x550 not negotiating to 10Gb on x299 chipset

2019-03-25 Thread Kevin
Hi, this issue affects my hosts as well. I have about 40 hosts running
Intel X550s that were working fine on kernel 4.4.0-141-generic with
regard to negotiating 10Gb automatically. Suddenly after booting into
4.15.0-43-generic they automatically negotiate at 1Gb. I have to use
ethtool to force them to 10Gb.

These are all Dell R640 so I don't think the issue is tied to the Asus
x299. Seems more tightly correlated with the Intel X550 and the kernel
version (4.15+ for me).

I tried the 5.0-rc3 kernel you linked and the issue still exists there.
So, somewhere between 4.4 and 4.13 the issue started and it still has
not been fixed.

  the Intel x550 LOM card running 18.04 (16.04 won't work on the x299
  chipset for some reason). I have a suspicion that it could potentially
  be related to the x299?

  The only way I have been able to get this problematic machine to
  negotiate to 10Gbps automatically is by plugging a cable directly from
  the LOM x550 of the problematic machine to another machines 10Gb
  network card. Doing that, the problematic machine will negotiate
  properly to 10Gb.

  I'm trying to find another 10Gb switch to test with to see if it could
  be unique to this combination of switch and machine. However, I'm
  reluctant to blame it on the switch since we have about several other
  machine working perfectly fine on the switch (some with the same exact
  x550 LOM).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1812410] Re: Intel x550 not negotiating to 10Gb on x299 chipset

2019-01-26 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v5.0-rc3 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Intel x550 not negotiating to 10Gb on x299 chipset

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am having an issue with this particular machine auto negotiating
  10Gb. The onboard LOM will only negotiate to 1Gb. If I run `ethtool -s
   advertise 0x1000`, the machine will delink and then negotiate
  to 10Gb and work as expecting. Rebooting the machine (or unplugging
  network cable) will cause it to negotiate to 1G again resulting in
  having to run the ethtool command again.

  This is what I have tried:
  Tried different cable from confirmed working machine that auto negotiates to 
10Gb.
  Tried upgrading ixgbe driver to latest (5.5.3)
  Tried upgrading X550 firmware.
  I put an Intel x540-T1 card in the machine and that card works properly and 
negotiates to 10Gb automatically. Move the cable to the LOM x550, and it still 
negotiates to 1Gb.
  I also tried loading a live version of Fedora 29 (Kernel 4.18) with same 
exact symptoms.

  We have several other machine negotiating fine on the same exact
  switch. I have tried those cables to test this problematic machine
  with same result as above.

  We have a machine that is pretty similar in hardware that is not
  exhibiting this issue. It is an ASUS x99 motherboard, with the same
  LOM Intel x550 card, running on 16.04.

  The machine that is causing problems is an Asus x299 motherboard with
  the Intel x550 LOM card running 18.04 (16.04 won't work on the x299
  chipset for some reason). I have a suspicion that it could potentially
  be related to the x299?

  switch. I have tried those cables to test this problematic machine
  with same result as above.

  We have a machine that is pretty similar in hardware that is not
  exhibiting this issue. It is an ASUS x99 motherboard, with the same
  LOM Intel x550 card, running on 16.04.

  The machine that is causing problems is an Asus x299 motherboard with
  the Intel x550 LOM card running 18.04 (16.04 won't work on the x299
  chipset for some reason). I have a suspicion that it could potentially
  be related to the x299?

  The only way I have been able to get this problematic machine to
  negotiate to 10Gbps automatically is by plugging a cable directly from
  the LOM x550 of the problematic machine to another machines 10Gb
  network card. Doing that, the problematic machine will negotiate
  properly to 10Gb.

  I'm trying to find another 10Gb switch to test with to see if it could
  be unique to this combination of switch and machine. However, I'm
  reluctant to blame it on the switch since we have about several other
  machine working perfectly fine on the switch (some with the same exact
  x550 LOM).
