Hello,
********************************************************************
my hardware configuration is:
2 Alphaserver ES40 running kernel 2.4.2smp
with 3com905b FastEthernet PCI
The configuration is switched, 100 Full Duplex autonegotiation.
********************************************************************
I insert the 3c59x module with debug=7.
I start an ftp transfer from machine A to B:
machine A machine B
ftp B ftpd answering
get bigfile
bigfile is 500 Megabytes, and transfer fine at 11 MegaBytes/s perfectly
Now I want to stress/test fullduplex:
machine A machine B
ftp B ftp A
ftpd answers to B ftpd answer to A
get bigFile get bigFile2
The first of the above machines launching the get freezes.
I include a file with my logs, the output of the crashed machine after
reboot.
I also include the output of uname -a, lspci -vx, vortex --aaee.
Thanks for any help, If some information is missing there do not hesitate to
ask.
