On Sun v100 and Nextra X1 machines d-i loads the dmfe module first, which seems to support the ethnernet controller, but in fact it does not, only tulip does. Unfortunately a modprobe -r dmfe results in an oops (if the interface is up, it works if you remove the module before bringing the interface up): Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 000000000000162f tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fffff8006e03a000 \|/ ____ \|/ "@'/ .. \`@" /_| \__/ |_\ \__U_/ modprobe(4767): Oops [#1] TSTATE: 0000004411009602 TPC: 0000000010001840 TNPC: 00000000005c0234 Y: 00000000 Not tainted TPC: <dmfe_free_rxbuffer+0x44/0x6c [dmfe]> g0: 3832000000000000 g1: 0000000000000000 g2: 0000000000000000 g3: fffff8000067b8c0 g4: fffff8006e936060 g5: 0000000000000000 g6: fffff8006e214000 g7: fffff80000672000 o0: 0000000000000000 o1: fffff80000430158 o2: 0000000000000035 o3: 0000000000631da8 o4: 000000006c696263 o5: 000001fe0000f078 sp: fffff8006e216c81 ret_pc: 000000001000183c RPC: <dmfe_free_rxbuffer+0x40/0x6c [dmfe]> l0: fffff8006feb9800 l1: 0000000000000000 l2: 00000000005f494f l3: 000000006f690000 l4: 0000000000000000 l5: 0000000000000000 l6: 0000000000000000 l7: 00000000f7f87170 i0: fffff8006e992c20 i1: fffff8006e992800 i2: 0000000000000010 i3: 0000000000008000 i4: 000001fe02010148 i5: fffff8006feb4800 i6: fffff8006e216d41 i7: 00000000100019c4 I7: <dmfe_stop+0x94/0x9c [dmfe]> Caller[00000000100019c4]: dmfe_stop+0x94/0x9c [dmfe] Caller[00000000005c5b88]: dev_close+0x6c/0x94 Caller[00000000005c5c60]: unregister_netdevice+0xb0/0x218 Caller[00000000005c5ddc]: unregister_netdev+0x14/0x20 Caller[00000000100018f0]: dmfe_remove_one+0x88/0xc8 [dmfe] Caller[00000000005226cc]: pci_device_remove+0x28/0x3c Caller[0000000000578724]: __device_release_driver+0x6c/0x80 Caller[0000000000578798]: driver_detach+0x60/0x94 Caller[0000000000577e68]: bus_remove_driver+0x7c/0xa0 Caller[0000000000578a48]: driver_unregister+0x10/0x1c Caller[0000000000522794]: pci_unregister_driver+0xc/0x60 Caller[0000000000461384]: sys_delete_module+0x1a4/0x1cc Caller[00000000004069d4]: linux_sparc_syscall32+0x3c/0x40 Caller[0000000000011da4]: 0x11dac Instruction DUMP: 1068000b c25e20a0 7c16fa7e <d0586010> c45e2088 c25e20a0 c458a018 82007fff c27620a0 The ethernet controller is: 00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr+ Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 160 (5000ns min, 10000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: I/O ports at 1fe02010100 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at 1ff00002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Expansion ROM at 1ff00100000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=220mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- The network seems to work well with tulip.
