| |
I checked the released 2.4.11 kernel and found the same driver failure as was present in the 2.4.10 kernel.
I'm running Linux on a single-board computer that uses an Intel ethernet chip, apparently i82557 compatible. The 2.2.17 kernel boots OK. The 2.4.10 kernel fails to initialize the chip complaining [thanks to kernel message scrollback]:
eth0: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100], 00:60:92:00:17:F4, IRQ 11 Board assembly 721383-006, Physical connectors present: RJ45 Primary interface chip 82555 PHY #1 Self test failed, status ffffffff: Failure to initialize the i82557. Verify that the card is in a bus-master capable slot.
When the 2.2.17 kernel boots, it reports that
The receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling workaround.
and all of the tests succeed. The rest of the messages are the same except for driver version information. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
