RHEL 3 Update 5 WS

x86 or AMD64/EM64T on Dual Core HP xw4300 Workstation Only
Reports 2 CPU's When Running the SMP Kernel

DESCRIPTION

These particular Dual Core processors from Intel® do not support Hyperthreading. Therefore, when
running the SMP kernel with Dual Core processors, you will only see 2 CPUs.

SCOPE

HP xw4300 Workstation with a Dual Core Processor

RESOLUTION

None; see HP xw4300 Workstation Specification at
http://www.hp.com/workstations/pws/xw4300/specs.html
x86 or AMD64/EM64T on xw4300 LAN-on-Motherboard tg3 Driver is
Not Fully Integrated
DESCRIPTION
The updated driver needed to support the BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard is not integrated in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 WS Update 5 kernel, therefore it is recommended that tg3 v3.27RH
or greater be used.
If you see errors such as
tg3: tg3_reset_hw timed out for eth0
or
SIOCSIFLLAGS: No such device
and any attempt to ping will result in "connect: Network is unreachable", then follow the steps
under the Resolution section.
Also, if you update your kernel via Red Hat Network prior to the availability of RHEL 3 WS Update 6,
your LAN-on-Motherboard will no longer work.
SCOPE
HP xw4300 Workstation with RHEL3U5 WS
RESOLUTION
NOTE: This issue is resolved in RHEL3U6. If you are using RHEL3U5, then the following resolution
still applies.
If /var/log/messages already indicate that you are running tg3 v3.27RH, then you already have the
correct driver installed, but if you are seeing either of the errors described previously, then you'll need
to reconfigure the LAN and do a one-time power cycle to return the LAN to the correct state.
Configure your network with 'setup'.
1.
Execute: 'shutdown -h 0'.
2.
Remove the power cord for at least 15 seconds.
3.
Replace the power cord and restart the machine.
4.
As the system restarts, you should see "Bringing up eth0 [OK]".
5.
