Jason - No worries. I downgraded to the previous release and things started working properly for me.

Thanks,
Colin

Hi Colin;

Sorry for the late reply on this email, I am CCing the 'performance-node-users' list on this question since that is a more appropriate venue.

I've got a new perfSonar box setup and I'm running into some issues with
it. Notes are below:

_Version - 3.2rc1_
Whenever I tried to modify the MTU to 9000 and the txqueuelen to 5000,
the box would kernel panic on me. Could not get it to stop, so I
downgraded to the latest stable release
This version did recognized and installed the Broadcom BCM57711 dual
port 10G NIC properly


The latest release may be a better option since we corrected many problems in the last couple of RCs and have moved to the final recently. Would you be able to try that and see if the same problem persists? If the driver is not included we can definitely add it as a module. Would you happen to know the kmod name offhand? Also - for testing purposes it may be better to start with the new NetInstall version instead of the LiveCD.


_Version 3.1.3_
It will not properly install the Broadcom BCM57711 dual port 10G NIC
with the bnx2x driver. It gives the following errors:
NVRAM config error. BAD XGXS ext_phy_config 0xff000911
NVRAM config error. Invalid link_config 0x1070000 speed_cap_mask 0x500050
It installs them at eth6 and eth7, but they show up under ethtool as
twisted pair


Unfortunately we will be dropping support of the 3.1.3 series early next year. I think it would be best to stick with 3.2, and hopefully we can resolve the problem.

Thanks;
