Subject: Late Broadcom link detection makes IP config (bootp) fail
Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 10:31:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BD38515.40808@metaparadigm.com> (raw)
Hi,
I just compiled up 2.4.13-pres-benh0 and am trying to netboot my iMac.
I am using the following commandline:
ip=bootp nfsroot=10.1.0.7:/nb/root,rw
The boot messages show that the broadcom is found:
eth0: Found broadcom BCM5201 PHY
IP-Config initialises but doesn't send any request as I suspect the link
on eth0 is down. Root NFS then runs and fails due to network being down.
Later in the logs after unable to mount root kernel panic I see:
eth0: Link up ! BCM5201/5221 aux_stat: 0x003e
eth0: Full duplex: 0, Speed: 100
Why does the eth0 link come up so late? Is it possible to make the
broadcom driver wait for link before returning from the initialisation
function?
