Hi
After running fine for a while, my new server running 6.2-RELEASE
with latest security patches as of last Thursday or Friday started
giving the message
bge0: PHY read timed out
and I found the following in the system log
ok, it started happening again after about 1.5 hours after the last
reboot. bge0 started going down and up a few times over about an
hour, and then the read timedout messages started up again. Previous
to the very first time that this started, the server had run for
about 4 days since it was newly installed.

It is a TYAN S2850 single opteron system with 2.4ghz single core
opteron.
Its dmesg ID is seen below in the quoted section.
I had another machine with this same MB that ran for a long time fine
until I upgraded it to 6.0 or 6.1 last Fall and then I started to
have the same problem (a post about it is in the archives). I
assumed it was a HW issue and turned off the port in the BIOS and
used the other port until I took the machine offline as the customer
using it no longer needed it.
Now this machine is having the same symptoms and I remember reading
in the lists something about PHY and bge and some driver problems a
while back but cannot fnd it now in the archives.
Could this be a SW problem or is it a HW issue? Could it be related
to the port it is connected to or the cable or something? The other
machine that had this problem was on a different switch brand.
Thanks
Chad
This appears to be a HW problem at first look. But when the server
boots, it works fine for a while (hours, days??)
Here is the id in the boot message

Is this some sort of SW driver issue or is it a HW issue at first
glance? I remember kind of reading about some BGE issues a while
back.
Thanks
Chad
