Hi all,
As a simple stress test for my board with an MPC8572E and an
MPC8568E on
it, I setup both processors to boot linux 2.6.27.6 with an NFS root
and
then perform repeated native compiles of a linux kernel over NFS.
After
running for 4 days straight or so with between 250-300 build cycles
per
processor, I stopped the builds and ran ethtool to look for any odd
statistics. Both processors reported non-zero values for
tx-babbling-errors. Both processors reported around 1300
tx-babbling-errors out of about 80,000,000 Tx packets. Should I be
concerned about the tx-babbling-errors? What conditions would cause
these errors to be reported?
Thanks,
Scott
I'm told this will occur when:
