Hi all,

I have the strangest issue here: I upgraded my Dell T300 system 
("[i]server[/i]") from 8GiB to 16 GiB memory. When I boot snv 130 (and at least 
127) with more than 8 GiB of installed memory outbound network traffic is impossible.

[b]memory[/b]
 - 2 * 2 GiB Module
 - 2 * 2 GiB Module
 - 2 * 4 GiB Module

title snv_130
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)

[b]network[/b]
When I ping the [i]server[/i] the following happens:

On the [i]server[/i] the arp entry for the [i]client[/i] is set. On the [i]client[/i] the arp entry for the [i]server[/i] is [b]never[/b] set.

Networking between dom0 and domU and between dom0 and zones works. Networking 
between [i]client[/i] and domU/zones shows the errors described above.

What about client <=> dom0?


[b]tests[/b]
I tried snv 130 and 127 (XVM). Both showed the same behavior: No network with 
12 or 16 GiB, stable network with 8 GiB. snv 130 [i]without[/i] xvm works with 
16 GiB of RAM installed.

Swapping the memory modules does not alter the effect.

Has anybody experienced this? What can I do to get it to work?

No.  What is the dom0 NIC?  Have you tried snooping on the vnic
to see what is moving through?

I am guessing the NIC your using doesn't support 64-bit
DMA addresses and there isn't enough low memory in dom0?
