Problem with Dell R410 & bce driver :-(

[Ferdinand Goldmann]

Hi

Tried installing FreeBSD 7.2 on two shiny new Dell R410 servers ...
The system booted up fine from the install CD and I did a network install
from an FTP server.

Upon rebooting, however, the network interface stopped working, and I am
getting loads of error messages on the console, like:

Watchdog timeout occured, resetting
Unable to write CTX memory
PHY write timeout

The chip is a BCM5716 which according to the man page should work. An upgrade
to 7.2-p3 did not help.
I also tried disabling hw.bce.msi_enable and hw.bce.tso_enable. This did not
help either.

What puzzles me is that the FTP install went just fine.

Anyone here who has experience with a Dell R410 under FreeBSD?

TIA,
ferdinand
