4.3-STABLE about two weeks old. I recently aquired a second CPU for a server and when the box runs a SMP kernel the ethernet exhibits packet loss from what appears to be transmit framing errors. With a single CPU it runs just fine. It's an older LX based Tyan Tomcat, the NIC is a Kingston, I think: dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebfef00-0xfebfefff irq 11 at devic e 11.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:c0:f0:5b:4c:5f miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto I'm not positive that the two CPUs are the same stepping but the box does boot just fine and exhibits no other strange behavior -- the console is responsive and there are no errors in dmesg. Seems to me that if the chips weren't happy I'd see other errors. Any Ideas? Is the dc driver broke under SMP? -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc@sonic.net sonic.net System Administrator 300 B Street, Ste 101 707.522.1000 (Voice) Santa Rosa, CA 95404 707.547.2199 (Fax) http://www.sonic.net/ Fingerprint = 7F 59 43 1B 44 8A 0D 57 91 08 73 73 7A 48 90 C5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
