Hi
I have been fighting my problem with system freezes
described in the previous thread
I have added a 2nd NIC to the machine
and tested across an NFS mount using md2sum as before
The machine now has
An on board Marvell 8380 GB/s nic that uses the sky2 driver
A D-Link 530T GB/s nic that uses the skge driver
I am using a Netgear GS108T GB/s switch to a Centos 5.4
nfs4 server.
The machine is booted with only one NIC connected at a time
D-link Marvell
F11 OK OK
F12 OK Fails
Fails = Hardware button press required after "random" time during
read/checksum calc of 8GB file set
My conclusion was that it must be the F12 sky2 driver not NFS
I then down loaded the latest "Working" F11 kernel source rpm and
extracted sky2.c and sky2.h
and compiled these against the F12 kernel
I thought this must fix the problem - but no!
The machine still freezes during the md5sum test
I am rapidly running out of ideas !!
Any help appreciated
John
