I take it that you didn't use PXE.
Oh, this isn't on a net6501, it's a server, hardware RAID, 24Gb RAM and all. OS installation was via CD-ROM, then via network, but that was OK because this was back in 2.6.30 days, and the kernel only started turning ASPM on for *anything* around 2.6.35.

The e1000e guys have given up trying to track this: it's not an e1000e driver bug but something in the PCI layer. Nobody has brought this to the attention of the PCI guys yet (and I blame myself for this, I had a kernel bugzilla bug open with lots and lots of painstakingly-collected data on this problem, and I didn't tell the PCI guys and then kernel.org was penetrated, and now kernel.org bugzilla is gone, possibly never to return.) -- NULL && (void) _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
