similar to: Version 3.35 problems with Broadcom BCM5780 chipset

In this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-February/008014.html I reported that IBM Opteron servers with Broadcom BCM5780 chipsets would freeze randomly in the PXE menus from the SYSLINUX 3.35 tools vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32. There did not seem to be any reason for this nor systematics in when the servers would lock up. The solution is now available: Upgrade your IBM servers to

We're using PXELINUX for bootstrapping the network install our Linux cluster nodes. We just got some new IBM 326m dual-Opteron servers with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5780 dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports. These dual-Ethernet servers work in an annoying way with PXELINUX when we configure for booting from the local hard disk as the PXE-client downloads this file from the DHCP/TFTP server: label

Hi! I am experiencing strange behavior with my new CentOS 6.3 installation (system up to date). I have a big 11 TB EXT4 array mounted on /home/data. The server is a Tyan 2U (TA26-B3992-E) with Dual Opteron 2216, one cpu has 4 Gigs RAM and the other has 8 Gigs (so 12 Gigs total). The server uses 8 x Seagate 2TB SAS hard disks (7200 RPM) and all the disks are grouped together to form 1

Hi all, I have a machine that won't boot syslinux 4.02 but will boot syslinux 3.53. We've installed syslinux 4.02 on a number of machines but only this one has a problem. The problem is that the machine hangs entirely after printing "boot:" on the tty. The stanza being booted in /boot/extlinux.conf is: label xe # XenServer kernel mboot.c32 append /boot/xen.gz

Hello CentOS admins. I am an AIX admin bent on learning CentOS. Yesterday I downloaded CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso, burned a DVD and loaded it onto a Lenovo IdeaPad N585 laptop. All went well, except for getting the integrated wireless to work. Here is some info and what I tried so far. # lspci|egrep -i wireless 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless

Hi, The following 4 patches enable direct device assignment (PCI passthru) for HVM guest on AMD IOMMU platforms. Please apply them against C/S 16491 as the named order. To enable AMD IOMMU, please add "enable_amd_iommu" as xen boot parameter. 1-cleanup.patch: code cleanup, bug fix, minor enhancements to existing amd-iommu codes. 2-passthru-amd.patch: passthru support, modifications to

Does anyone have some tips for setting up Broadcom's 802.3AD support or just getting their driver compiled / installed? First off, I noticed redhat claims the broadcom bcm5708 driver has been added to the rhel4 kernel. But I don't see /proc/net/nicinfo which broadcom claims the driver creates when it's successfully initialized. So, I'm trying to build the driver based on the

Hi all, Long time, no speak. Shifting from private sector job to full-time freelance work took its toll. As a result, among other things, the Broadcom Wiki page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom I "maintain" was neglected, and over the past couple of years I've been receiving e-mail inquiries about the Wiki and its applicability. I'm happy to say and

Hello David, In brief, I've solved this problem on my Dell Inspiron 1525 (with Broadcom 4312 wireless card), so I figured letting You know would be nice, 'cause it didn't seem like the issue is resolved. Visit this link: http://jomcode.com/fadhil/?p=59 and in addition check out the comment on the same page by Andre Kiepe to have the modules load on boot. Best Regards, Milos.

Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta.sh Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd

Hi Milos/CentOS Admins, I've validated the BCM4321 chip per the install instructions if you all want to populate the table as confirmed in Appendix A of the Broadcom page: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom#head-5b5da35ce5cedf2cddd2e815739a64758e341ab8 Table entry: Chip: BCM4321 EL version: CentOS 7.1 Kernel:

This is a continuation of my previous thread: "Broadcom Wifi Problem" Following a post from "James A. Peltier", who said: You can use the rpmforge version or compile it yourself. I've used this one with success using the details described earlier. http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php I did however have to patch it with

Hello all. We recently purchased HP Proliant DL380 G7 server and also a HP Lefthand P4500 G2 24TB iSCSI box. The server itself has Quad Ethernet based on the BCM5709 Chipset from Broadcom (NetXtreme II). My main question is about iSCSI offload mechanism, as iSCSI itself is pretty new to me but I have gotten a good hold on it tho. I have managed to setup and configured our Lefthand box into

Greetings (first post to the list)... The following patch is required to allow bridging to occur on an IBM x305 (1RU server). (It has been posted to the kernel-developers mailing list previously.) Background: - The Dual Broadcom NICs in the IBM x305 have a broken checksum routine which wants to calculate the checksum the ethernet packet where the 'source' IP address is the IP

Hi, We recently purchased some HP Gen8 servers with Broadcom BCM57810 NIC controllers. I am running CentOS 6.2 on these servers configured as KVM hosts. Has anyone gotten the Broadcom chips to run with SR-IOV on CentOS 6.2? Any clues on how to get it working? I see from the Broadcom glossy marketing docs that this chip supports SR-IOV, but I cannot find a procedure for configuring it. The

Last time I checked (but that was a while ago) TOE (TCP Offloading Engine) was not supported very well, at least not with Broadcom chips. Did anything change in that regard recently? More specifically, the chip I'm looking at is Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 and the distribution is 5.3 Any luck with proprietary drivers? Any problems those drivers may cause with bonding? -- Florin Andrei
