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,
