Re: Sky2 Driver Issue

Hi,

A couple of kernels ago, I ran into an issue with the sky2 driver.
Basically, I began getting repeated errors on my console of the
following:

Oct 21 16:33:39 holly kernel: sky2 0000:04:00.0: error interrupt
status=0x80000000
Oct 21 16:33:39 holly kernel: sky2 0000:04:00.0: error interrupt
status=0xc0000000

Which eventually led to:
Oct 21 16:33:49 holly kernel: printk: 92 messages suppressed.

Here is a section of the log that may be useful:
Oct 21 16:33:37 holly kernel: sky2 eth1: enabling interface

Oct 21 16:33:42 holly kernel: sky2 0000:04:00.0: error interrupt

These messages are appearing on all the VTs, and because they keep
popping up, I can't reasonably use the consoles to test if the network
driver is working.

The kernel I've got going at the moment is 2.6.23-rc9 with git
revision g804b3f9a, and it's fine. The error surfaced _sometime_
after this. Attached is my .config.

I'll try rebooting and pinging the machine to see if the network
driver is working, and this is just (unnecessary?) spew from the
kernel.

Hi again,

So it seems the driver and the network card is functioning, but I'm
getting the 'error interrupt' message plastered over every console.

I can ping and ssh into the computer, but the message is still
scrolling everything off my screens.
