Hi, i test a xen-patched kernel 2.6.31.10 (kernel from kernel.org with the suse patches) on a system with a boradcom net extreme II (5709) nic using the module bnx2. The nic does not run with this kernel. I get: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: map irq failed Any experiences?

If others have the same problem, here the solution: I use the kernel 2.6.30.8 from kernel.org and the partches from http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.31-9.tar.bz2 It runns stable on many Dell PowerEdge i610 now.

There are no changes in the bnx2 driver between 2.6.31.8 and 2.6.31.10. So i think the problem affected in the different xen patches (Bad build = xen-patches-2.6.31-10, good build = xen-patches-2.6.31-9). I dont test the combination with linux 2.6.31.10 and xen-patches-2.6.31-9.

Andy: Are you aware of any changes between 2.6.31-9 and 2.6.31-10 that could cause bnx2 to fail like this: bnx2 0000:01:00.0: map irq failed It could be some other (non-xen) patch between 2.6.31.8 and 2.6.31.10 aswell.. -- Pasi> Best Regards > - Michael Schmidt > > >> Did you try running 2.6.31.10, and only downgrade the bnx2 driver from 2.6.30.8 ? >> (ie. only copy the bnx2 driver sources from 2.6.30.8 to 2.6.31.10 and re-compile)._______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Currently i have no free Dell PowerEde or other server with a bnx2-card. But i will test it soon. At this time, all my Dell PowerEdges (and other servers without bnx2 too) running 2.6.31.8 with xen-patches-2.6.31-9 very stable. If anyone like to use this lightwight server optimized kernel: Patched and configured source: http://www.xncore.de/kernel/linux-source-2.6.31.8-xncore-1001.tar.bz2 Precompiled kernel (amd64 / x86_64): http://www.xncore.de/kernel/linux-image-2.6.31.8-xncore-1001.tar.bz2 I will upload a 2.6.31-11 patched 2.6.31.12 linux kernel after my testing phase.
