I have a Shuttle XPC SN95G5 (v1) with motherboard FN95 that includes a Marvell Yukon 8001 GB network device and have similar problems as with the two A makers. That is I get VPD keys software errors from kernel, it allways reports zero bytes send/recive and small temporar lockups (~0.1s) when monitoring the device. The ethernet device works though, so it's not a that big problem, just wanted to report the problem. Problem is with SuSE64 9.2 and 9.3 latest BIOS update and OS update. /Arne On 19.6 2005 17:06, Andi Kleen wrote:

I haven't seen any problems with the Marvell GigE chip for 1.5 years, using all SuSE distributions along.

There was a confirmed bug in the SUSE 9.2 kernels.

No actually there was a hardware bug on some motherboards by a particular big Taiwanese vendor starting with A (they had incorrect NIC eeprom checksums) We later added a workaround for that to ignore the wrong checksum. But the Linux code was correct.

See the January thread. If you didn't have any problems, you were lucky. I had.

You should have complained to your motherboard vendor.

BTW has this problem been solved in the latest 9.2 update kernels? Andi?

Yes, the patch made it into the update kernel.
