Kernel: msk1: watchdog timeout
-
There is no solution? The problem still remains..
-
I have a patched msk driver I made for the firebox NICs you could try. I also modified the LED register settings but that won't effect the operation. See:

I have not yet had any reports of it working or not.Steve

Ok, I can try with that but why loader.conf.local settings aren't loaded?
I prefer to try with that before patch driver.. -
Some random weirdness! ::)
Seriously I have no idea, it should work. Permissions problem?
Try putting it in loader.conf instead. That file will definitely be read and acted upon. It may be overwritten with a firmware update later but it will prove the method.Steve

Ok, putting them in loader.conf from sysctl the settings were loaded correctly:
hw.pci.enable_msix: 0 hw.pci.enable_msi: 0
I'll let you know if it solves the problem..
-
With this settings never crashes and it's perfect! I suggest them before change driver or trash your firewall.. :)
-
Good to know. Thanks for reporting back.
Disabling MSI like that will presumably increase the CPU interrupt load. Have you noticed any increased load?Steve
-
I don't know because it's on a Pentium M @ 1,7Ghz and it will be never heavy load by a normal ADSL\Hyperlan connection.
I'll let you now in the next weeks\month when I'll add another NIC for DMZ and CPU will be more loaded.. -
It would be interesting to see if you can achieve the same thing using instead:
hw.msk.msi_disable=1
This would disable MSI only for the msk NIC rather than all PCI devices. A cleaner solution.

I prefer to don't touch a things that works good.. ;)
If it helps I never see a delay or slowing down in ping, speedtest, navigation etc after modify the value..
