Bug Description

Dear all,

we have installed Ubuntu 6.10 (x86_64 ) on a Server with a Tyan S3992 Motherboard.
When we configure the two Broadcom LAN Adapters (BCM5780) with (for example) ifconfig eth1 172.16.20.24, we get a kerneldump and further aren`t any instruction accepted (like init 0, etc.)
We have compile the sources from Broadcom (tg3 3.66d (10/17/06))from the Broadcom homepage:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php
but same failure.
We don`t use any PCI cards.
When we are using the onboard Intel i82551QM, we have no issue.
With a Suse Linux (like SLES10) it is also no problem with all LAN ports onboard.
We are using two servers with the same hardware (and with Ubuntu same failure :-()

Have anybody see this failure, yet?

Thanks a lot

Florian

Hi Florian,

Sorry for the extremely delayed response. I just wanted to let you know that the 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the Hardy LiveCD. If the issue still exists, please add the Hardy kernel "linux" task to the bug report. This can be done by clicking on the "Also affects distribution" link in the Actions area on left hand side of the bug report. Select "Ubuntu" as the Distribution and type in "linux" for the Source Package Name. Thanks.
