Bge0 phy read timed out
-
Hi!
Im having this problem which locks up my pfsense box and doesnt allow any traffic until reboot, the problem seems to happens at random and all that i see in the screen is:
"bge0 phy read timed out" (see attached photo)
I have an Intel PWLA8492MT PRO/1000 MT PCI/PCI-X Dual Port Server Adapter.
The only post with this kind of error that i have found is http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,46301.msg242613/topicseen.html#msg242613
The problem is that i dont know which is the correct solution.
May you please help me.
Thanks.

Yes. You can see there are no packets at all on bge0 where as em0 and em1 are seeing traffic.
Is the bge NIC on-board? Can you disable it if you're not using it?

Hi Steve,
Yes, the NIC is on-board. How do i disable it?
Thanks!

There would usually be an option in the BIOS to disable an on board NIC.
Since you're not using that NIC you could also try setting the speed manually and seeing if that removes the error.

Go to the bios setup at boot, and disable it from there. Then put a piece of tape over the port so you (or your successor) don't forget about it and try to use it … not that I know from experience or anything ;)
