Subject: Re: 2.6.18-mm2
Hello all,
I've just tested -mm2 on my C2D system and I'm getting a lot of these
messages:
"[ 139.143807] printk: 131 messages suppressed.
[ 139.148235] sky2 0000:03:00.0: pci express error (0x500547)"
Please note that the "sky2" driver has always been the black sheep on
that system due to regular full lock-ups of the driver, requiring a
rmmod sky2 + modprobe sky2 cycle.
This happens often enough to warrant writing a cronjob checking the
network and auto-rmmod'ing the module.....
While the above is bloody annoying at times (heh), the driver never
caused any messages like the ones I now get with -mm2 .
sky2 just turned on PCI Express error reporting, so it makes sense that
messages would appear. The better question is whether this is a driver
problem, or a hardware problem. With your "black sheep" comment, I
wonder if it isn't a hardware problem that's been hidden.
