From: "Martin Lui" To: , Cc: Subject: Re: i386/67818: Marvell if_sk driver watchdog timeout issue on asus p4p800 motherboard Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 01:02:30 -0700 I have the same problem with my card, though I have a Linksys EG1032 Gigabit Ethernet card. It is installed on my router and fileserver. The watchdog timeout occurs when I try to get large files from the server. Also, I noticed that during high traffic in general, not limiting to downloading large files from it. However, I did not try to upload a large file to that server. I'm not really sure, but it seems like either a problem with the chipset or driver. I have a Soyo Dragon Plus motherboard with an Athlon XP 1500+ processor. Here's some extra hardware info to help out whoever is trying to fix this: uname -a: FreeBSD samba.* 4.10-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2 #1: Sun Jul 18 20:21:40 PDT 2004 martian111@simba.*:/usr/obj/home/extra1/servers/FreeBSD/4.10-RELENG/src/ sys/MLUI-2004071801 i386 dmesg -a: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+ (1330.01-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x662 Stepping = 2 Features=0x383f9ff AMD Features=0xc0480000 real memory = 402587648 (393152K bytes) ... skc0: port 0xb400-0xb4ff mem 0xe8020000-0xe8023fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 skc0: SK-9521 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter sk0: on skc0 sk0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:41:e5:4a:54 miibus1: on sk0 e1000phy0: on miibus1 e1000phy0: 1000baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX, 10baseTX-FDX, 10baseTX, auto My Solution: Get a new gibabit card. This worked for me. I got a hold of a Dell gigabit Ethernet Card that came with a computer I just bought. It was an extra card so I pulled it out and put it in my server. WORKS PERFECTLY. It uses the bge driver, not sk. Here is the dmesg for it: bge0: mem 0xe8020000-0xe802ffff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 bge0: Ethernet address: 00:10:18:0c:44:b3 miibus1: on bge0 brgphy0: on miibus1 brgphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX, 1000baseTX-FDX, auto and pciconf -l -v for it: bge0@pci0:9:0: class=0x020000 card=0x86531028 chip=0x165314e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet' class = network subclass = Ethernet Hope this helps and hope that the sk problem gets fixed soon.
