It might just be best to disable AER in the kernel if it isn't functional on the system and see if that helps to clear up the issue. > > I am leaning torward some external influence affecting the igb driver. Of the changes I made the only one I could really think of that would have much affect on MSI-X interrupts would be queue reordering, but that should have little to no effect on 82575 parts as it was intended to only reorder queues on 82576, in addition I would expect an immediate issue since the configuration is pretty much static after the queues are allocated. The only other patch that could even have a remote possiblity would be the TX head writeback defeature, but I would only expect that one to affect tx. > > Thanks, > > Alex AER wont work unless PCI supports MMCONFIG. This is a real problem, that I ended up giving up on standard pci access for sky2. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
