I take it as evidence that the drivers in 2.6.24 are OK for the 82566DM interface. 2.1) on the DG33TL board this fix does not work. did not further investigate crash at boot, as do not hope for support on running a SuSE system with other kernel. 2.2) my problem occurs with mpich2 parallel calculations involving several nodes. after a small number of data transfers link is lost, and remains lost indefinitely. restart of the network interface fixes the problem, but requires typing at the console (walk to the basement first) -- or a cron job doing that periodically to spare the walk. 3) with the small mpich2 test job I get a few data transfers, so I can assess performance before link is lost. the problem is not only here in Zurich. I got the hint about 2.6.24 from Hamburg where mpich2 jobs are run on nodes with the same Intel DQ35joe mainboard. (the Hamburg computer programs communicating by mpich2 are not the same as here) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
