I've still got a cluster of 66 machines using the tg3 drivers without problems. All versions of Suse Pro from 8.1 on.
I take it thats with the last 2.4 kernel that they released for 8.1, or have you manually patched the kernel?
On the PE2650s it's on the motherboard.
Just makes it slightly more difficult :)
but when Dell sold me Dual Intel cards for AU$150 each I happily walked away from the 2650 broadcoms, although they hadn't caused me any real grief.
This would be my prefered option, but the sticking point is getting the bosses to spend the money and schedule downtime.
I read about lots of people (mainly redhat users) having lots of grief on the Dell list, that seems to have died down though.
Yes, unfortunately some of the servers run an un-updated Deadrat AS3, really unfortunately for me is that they host the vital Oracle DB's. It suggests that a full update should cure alot of the problems. Cheers, Ben
