Bug Description

After installing 'uname -a'
Linux ast4-lnx1 2.6.22-14-sparc64 #1 Sun Oct 14 21:57:46 GMT 2007 sparc64 GNU/Linux
I had no connectivity when I walked around to the back of my Sun Fire v210 I noticed no lights on the connected port. I moved the cable to deifferent v210 running solaris and observed lights meaning the connection was good. When I moved it back to the same port on the original v210 no lights. From there I moved it down the line find that only the third port of the four ports had lights. I then decided to configue eth2 to no connectivty was observed after using ifconfig, so I configured /etc/network/interfaces to reflect my desired setup and rebooted the box as 'services' package was not installed. When the box came back up no lights on the third port. Testing again I saw that I was getting lights on the second port but no others.

After much searching I came up with this article.

http://<email address hidden>/msg20279.html

After reading I connected Ethernet port 0 and configured eth2. It worked like a charm.

snippit from dmesg reporting problems:

Hi vipaca,

It looks like you are running the Gutsy kernel (2.6.22-14). The Hardy Heron Alpha series was recently released which contains an updated version of the kernel. Care to test with a Hardy Alpha release? You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks.

The link does not show a sparc architecture based build. This bug was found
on a sparc based version of Gutsy. If you want to point me to this release I
would be glad to test it for you.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
