Solaris 10 x86 / NIC Marvell Yukon 88E8001 hungs with latest driver

[Gustavo Tazzoli]

Hello,

I've installed latest yukon driver from marvell for Solaris 10 8/11
for the DGE-503T PCI NIC
Downloaded the latest driver from marvell, installed, updated /etc/
driver_aliases and worked fine.. but, there is always a but...

After the system is running for a couple of days, it hungs with the
following error:

Mar 24 12:13:33 somehost Msg: Unexpected IRQ Status error

I've disabled apci, disabled devices which was sharing irqs, with no
luck. Seems like under load the system hungs and the only way to
recover it is just rebooting the server or unloading/reloading the
driver module, which is not a posibility because I lost the network
and I have no console for this system.

System is:

Gigabyte: GA-MA770T-UD3. Kingston: 2x4g 1333 ddr. changed memories
with no luck.

NIC: dlink DGE-530T PCI.

disks: 4 WD RE3 in raid10, zfs, no problems here.

CPU: Phenom X4 965.

I have the same NIC running on another Solaris 10 x86 server with no
issues. The other system has only 2gigs of ram.

I've already requested a new PCIe INTEL supported NIC, but I'll like
to know if any of you had any similar problem with this NIC/Driver or
any other similar issue which might help to the resolution.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Gustavo.
