Hello there,
I have a Dell 1655MC blade server, and a compiled-this-week 4.7-STABLE kernel.
The hardware is a chassis of 6 PCs in a 3U case. Each blade has two Broadcom
BCM5703 interfaces. Unfortunately, its behaviour is rather non-deterministic.
The dmesg output follows. As you see, there are two bge0s (!) and neither has
an associated PHY. It's not always like this, however. Sometimes it boots
fine, both interfaces are detected OK and one can proceed to do an NFS install
of the minimal distribution set. Once the interface has been configured, it
seems to be stable.
Let's hear it for KASSERT()!
# ifconfig bge0 up
panic: bge_stop: mii is NULL
Here's the offending bit from sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c (KASSERTs added by me)
if (!sc->bge_tbi) {
KASSERT(ifp != NULL, ("bge_stop: ifp is NULL"));
itmp = ifp->if_flags;
ifp->if_flags |= IFF_UP;
KASSERT(mii != NULL, ("bge_stop: mii is NULL"));
ifm = mii->mii_media.ifm_cur;
KASSERT(ifm != NULL, ("bge_stop: ifm is NULL"));
mtmp = ifm->ifm_media;
ifm->ifm_media = IFM_ETHER|IFM_NONE;
mii_mediachg(mii);
ifm->ifm_media = mtmp;
ifp->if_flags = itmp;
}
So, the problem is that at boot-time, the kernel is not getting a PHY driver,
be it a brgphy, or a ukphy attached to the miibus.
Have a look at the specs here:
