Hello all,

I've just tested -mm2 on my C2D system and I'm getting a lot of these
messages:

"[  139.143807] printk: 131 messages suppressed.
[  139.148235] sky2 0000:03:00.0: pci express error (0x500547)"

Please note that the "sky2" driver has always been the black sheep on
that system due to regular full lock-ups of the driver, requiring a
rmmod sky2 + modprobe sky2 cycle.

This happens often enough to warrant writing a cronjob checking the
network and auto-rmmod'ing the module.....

While the above is bloody annoying at times (heh), the driver never
caused any messages like the ones I now get with -mm2 .

sky2 just turned on PCI Express error reporting, so it makes sense that messages would appear. The better question is whether this is a driver problem, or a hardware problem. With your "black sheep" comment, I wonder if it isn't a hardware problem that's been hidden.

	Jeff
