Hello,
I'm facing something quite strange... When booting one of these kernels
(it's a new machine, I've not been running older kernels), the boot message
says :
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
sky2 v1.10 addr 0xff8fc000 irq 19 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2
sky2 eth0: addr 00:18:f3:e0:5d:d4
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
sky2 v1.10 addr 0xff7fc000 irq 16 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2
sky2 eth1: addr 00:18:f3:e0:36:fd
So, I'm expecting two interfaces : eth0 and eth1
Unfortunately, at the end of the boot process, I can find eth1 and eth2,
something/somewhat/someone has renumbered them ;
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F3:E0:36:FD

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F3:E0:5D:D4

Interrupt:19
This does also occurs when I boot in single user mode, so I did a quick check
at the processes running then, and found udevd, but there is no reference to
ethX in the configuration files, only veth :
root@riri:/Kernels/External# cd /etc/udev/
root@riri:/etc/udev# grep -r eth *
rules.d/90-modprobe.rules:ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="network",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba ibmveth"
rules.d/90-modprobe.rules:ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="vlan",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba iseries_veth"
Is it something expected ? Or is it because Sky2 is still EXPERIMENTAL ?
Regards,
Paul
