Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Hello,

I was trying to install using netinstall or businesscard or
netinst+firmware images of wheezy/testing on IBM xSeries x366 server
and ended with serious DMA error when using tg3 driver with 

Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet 

controler.

This prevents using network in d-i. I loaded firmware from pendrive or
from unofficial netinstall+firmware iso images.


Basically it is problem with 3.2.x kernel, and is a regression against
for example 2.6.26. I belive problem is fixed in 3.4.x kernels.


I belive this is exactly the same problem like in Ubuntu 12.04,

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1005699

(actually running Ubuntu 12.04 livecd presents same error).


It looks like this

tg3 0000:03:06.0: eth0: DMA Status error. Resetting chip.

Without this fixes, d-i is not able to use network, and fails to obtain
IP using DHCP, or use network.

I'm using debian testing installer for amd64.

If needed please reasign problem to kernel team. It is quite important,
I have Broadcom lan adapters in multiple computers including two
servers, two workstations and two laptops. It is quite common device for
Gigabit Ethernet access

Witek

Closing optimistically.  Confirmation about how 3.2.32-1 or newer from
wheezy or sid behaves would still be useful.
