Hello,

I have an ASUS motherboard A7V8X-E Deluxe with onboard 10/100/1000
Mbit/s NIC from Marvell Semiconductor.

My problem is that it sometimes lock up with the error message

sk0: watchdog timeout

I have a similar problem with 3Com cards on an ASUS A7N266; I just post in case this might be related (and in hope for a hint for a solution )

Hi again,


I've since this thread started tried this on more different systems, with exactly the same results. Anyone else experiencing this? Anything I can do to help fixing it?

Regards,
Palle





This is a fresh FreeBSD 4-STABLE system.

xl0 = 3c905C-TX xl1 = 3c900-COMBO switch = Netgear FS105

box netboots (using xl0) -Stable from a PPro server with same 3c905C-TX
and works like a charm (network software development use, generating
high network load)

This weekend I pulled in an old scsi-card and disk and installed
5.2.1 and -current on it :

 - networking through xl0 gives me about 6Kbps throughput, unworkable
   but no freezes
 - networking through xl1 works more or less OK as long as I stick
   to NFS (udp-mounts), simple editing and serial makes;
   the first "make -j X" and/or "ar srv mylib lots-of-ofiles" generates :

xl1: watchdog timeout

   system does not come back from lost network, at least not for
   the first couple of minutes

   whenever I try a "cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/my-supfile" or "cvs -d faraway
update"    I always get the same

xl1: watchdog timeout

after some dozens of seconds

As said, same behaviour on 5.2.1 and -current from sunday.
With or without acpi/apic/WITNESS does not make any difference.
With or without CPUTYPE=athlon-xp either.

Note, when I installed this system (at a co-worker) one year ago,
I *had* to fix "AGP Aperture size" to 64M in the BIOS, otherwise
the netboot failed.
I just think about this, I did not test this weekend whether current
-Stable (sic) works OK when changing this value.

Thanx for your time, hope this helps to find a solution.

I can bake a current kernel on another box and ask my coworker
to test it.

Regards,

 Arno
