Re: [Xen-users] Problem with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708bnx2
I have the PE1950s with the on-board Broadcom chipset and an add-in Intel Pro 1000 card. I'm running SLES10 SP2 (Xen 3.2.0) and I don't see this behavior at all. -Nick>>> On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 9:21 AM, Alexander Hoßdorf<xen-users@hossdorf.eu> wrote: Hi, I ran into trouble with this NICs a few times, too.

I can''t really remember what version took my machine into trouble. Have you also tried the GPLPV drivers from James Harper? Perhaps it maybe a CentOS related issue? I don''t use CentOS, so I can''t say something about this.

RE: [Xen-users] Problem with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708bnx2
Check your firmware version on the broadcom NIC''s. Also in the archives of the list you can find a description of how the ipmi management feature on the poweredge 1950 can play bad games with the xen kernel--but the problem I had was that I couldn''t see the network at all. Anyway, it''s possible to disable that feature. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problems you describe below.. I have the same hardware and same centos clone but I am not doing windows or HVM. Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.

Another question: I''m not familiar with centOS, so is 3.0.3 really the version of xen provided with this? I thougt CentOS 5.1 ships with xen 3.1.3? But what you can definitely do to foreclose a driver issue is compiling the actual Broadcom provided driver from source. If the issue won''t disappear, you know what''s not the problem ;-) For this you have to install the correct xen kernel headers first.
