 Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2006 10:40 am Post subject: VIA VT6120/6121/VT6122 GE NIC, kernel panic |
 |
|
Just got ZyXEL GN650-T GE NIC (VIA VT6120/VT6121/VT6122 based by lspci) for free and ofcourse throwed it in to my SB1000.
Kernel driver compiles and loads just fine, as module and as build-in. But, when I try to activate the card, ie. use ifconfig or eth-script from /etc/init.d with /etc/conf.d/net, every time I get kernel panic:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap
But no dump nor nothing else on screen or in logs, system just hangs there.

Otherwise the system is stable as rock. Any ideas?

Ok, did my home work properly and found the obivious reason for velocity driver to cause kernel panic with sparc platform
| /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/via-velocity.c wrote: |
* TODO
* Big-endian support
|
And latest velocity driver I found from viaarena says:
CPU Supported
==========
This driver supports x86 and AMD64 based linux system.
Velocity driver should be masked from kernel config on big endian machines until someone rewrites the driver to support big endian platforms too.
