Hello My Dell PowerEdge R815 doesn't have IPMI anymore when I boot a 4.8 kernel, the BMC doesn't even ping anymore. Its Ethernet devices are 4 of those:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) DeviceName: Embedded NIC 1 Subsystem: Dell NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 42 Region 0: Memory at e6000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: bnx2 Kernel modules: bnx2 The only change in bnx2 between 4.7 and 4.8 appears to be this one: commit 3e1be7ad2d38c6bd6aeef96df9bd0a7822f4e51c Author: Baoquan He <b...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Sep 9 22:43:12 2016 +0800 bnx2: Reset device during driver initialization Could you patch actually break the BMC? What do I need to further debug this issue? Thanks Brice
