Those errors are not normal on a D600 with the tg3 driver. However, I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 3, so you may have a different/developmental/buggy/weird driver if you're using Fedora, unfortunately I don't have any D600s with Fedora at the moment so I can't test. The loopback-MAC and loopback-PHY test do normally fail, why I don't know, it does seem pretty misleading alright. Or maybe I just don't understand the tests :). Hope this helps a bit anyway.

Changed M/Board 2x already. 1st time, NIC keeps dying spewing out errors like kernel: tg3: tg3_stop_block timed out, ofs=2c00 enable_bit=2 kernel: tg3: tg3_stop_block timed out, ofs=2000 enable_bit=2 And then mouse jerks and all, also been having Boot-up issues. Booting in WinXP, running the Broadcomm Advanced Control Suite's Diagnostic, the "loopback-MAC" and "loopback-PHY" test failed. Can anyone tell me if their D600 has the same problem or is this considered "normal"? (I forgot to test it before I had the M/Board changed) Please help, Dell is giving me a *&^ of a time because I also Run Linux. -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 17:23:48 up 2:53, 4 users, load average: 0.21, 0.29, 0.34 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
