So I collected the information you requested from two machines: - BVSIM3 is the one with the IPMI card. - BVSIM5 the one without the IPMI card. As the output from the commands you requested is rather large, I uploaded it to the following URLs instead posting it to the list, hope that's ok: http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-ethtool-e.txt http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-lspci-t.txt http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-lspci-vvv-xxxx.txt http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-ethtool-e.txt http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-lspci-t.txt http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-lspci-vvv-xxxx.txt All commands were run in the error case, i.e. after e1000e said "Hardware error". > BIOS "IPMI" menus (I know you already gave us one, but both > would be good) BVSIM3 shows the IPMI menu I already provided BVSIM5 shows no IPMI menu Thanks in advance! -- With kind regards, Gernot Hillier Siemens AG, CT SE 2, Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
