Hi everyone, I've been running into a problem while installing Debian Wheezy on a bunch of 6-year old machines which have been running Squeeze happily for years.
They are SuperMicro-based (H8SSL opteron board), with two BCM95704A6 (Tigon3) interfaces, and a BMC/IPMI card (SuperMicro 1U) which shares eth0. With a 2.6.32 kernel (and the 3.102 version of the tg3 driver) everything is fine. With Debian's 3.2 (and tg3 3.121) I lose access to the IPMI LAN (or LANplus) interface as soon as the tg3 module has been loaded. Even shutting down doesn't give the interface back - I've got to pull the power plug. Trying to git bisect the corresponding changes to the tg3 driver, I'm running against a wall at the point where the source code has been moved to another subtree back in 2011 (still a long time past Squeeze). I appear to be unable to go back beyond that. Can you advise how to find out when IPMI access got lost, and how to re-enable it? Any suggestion is appreciated. I suppose it wouldn't be as easy as "get the old source from 2.6.32, and plug it into drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom, then rebuild the kernel" -? Please keep me on CC, thanks.
