The reason that we added the retries parameter was to allow this command to comeback without user intervention. well, it seems like there is a problem possibly on the network driver. Ok, looks like the -t parameter did not work out... As I am looking thru the kernel config, found this: [ ] Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X) Its not enabled. So, can one of you with this problem enable MSI (CONFIG_PCI_MSI) in the kernel and test if that will work? Browsing thru the kernel doc: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/MSI-HOWTO.txt;hb=HEAD Im not sure if there are downsides if we enable this as default.. Use of PCI MSI interrupts can be disabled at kernel boot time by using the 'pci=nomsi' option. This disables MSI for the entire system. Soh, we have alternative options to use... Im compiling this into my kernel here now to give it som testing, but I do not have the MSI problem and I do not have a Dell Opti 755 :-) FWIW, I get the sae MSI message on my Dell Opti 755's, but other than one maybe 2 minute delay on 1 of 8 machines, they all have worked flawlessly. I think the difference is I'm booting from CD and those with problems have been PXE booting. It could well be a BIOS/Firmware problem with the 755's PXE stack that we're seeing and no amount of tweaking is going to solve it. It might be worth testing other bootable linux stacks which use dhcp to get an address and see if those have the same issues.
