These microcode messages are normal per-se. >>From the original report [1] follows that there is another 60s. delay when loading a firmware for an eth device. [quote] [ 257.833775] tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. [ 269.643973] tg3 0000:03:01.1: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin [ 329.640456] eth1: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg3_tso.bin" ... We see 60 seconds for eth1, complaining about a failed firmware load. /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin does exist and is from the current build. [/quote] IOW, the issue likely has something to do with firmware loading in general. -- Best regards, Dmitry Adamushko
