Hi all,

Now I am strugging with booting vanilla(2.4.2x) on ibm440gx and
I could succeed to boot it but, after nfs mounted, it's behavior 
seems too slow. I guess, it looks like the system is running 
half duplex. I have attached  the boot message below.

If anyone knows some information about such issue, please let me know.

Thanks,
-doyu

What revision of the CPU do you have?? I know that upto rev C half duplex
has a problem with the cpu and only REV C silicon works if I am not
mistaken, there is an errata on IBM's website about this

Wow, I really had to spend some time to find such ancient hw :). I'll 
try 2.4.27 with this hub during next couple of days (I'm a little busy 
right now) and let you know. I suspect nobody really tested EMAC driver 
in 10Mb HDX mode.

You can also bug Matt Porter, maybe he'll help you sooner :).

Hi,

I too had a similar problem with our custom 440GX board - this week in
fact.  It would DHCP, mount NFS then keep on reporting that the server
was not responding.  I eventually tracked it down to the fact that we
are running a single MII phy and the phy map was not being setup
correctly by my port.  As soon as I changed this in the arch_setup it
has worked ever since. BTW it is linuxppc 2.6.8.1,RevC
440,100BaseTX,busybox root.  This may not be Hiroshis problem but
thought I would add to the conversation...
