- Minor
My server using an Intel dual-port 10Gb XFP NIC is routinely removing the driver with the following syslog message which removes all network connectivity.
Mar 17 08:18:19 MU-TH-UR kernel: ixgbe 0000:03:00.0: Adapter removed
Mar 17 08:18:19 MU-TH-UR kernel: ixgbe 0000:03:00.0: Warning firmware error detected FWSM: 0xFFFFFFFF
I have serial console and local access so I am at least able to bounce the server to bring it back.
Diagnostics file attached. Not sure what to do here as I cannot find any references to firmware error 0xFFFFFFFF and can only find references to error 0x0118801B and 0x00000000.
I note the driver used in 6.9.1 is Intel version 5.10.21 and there is a 5.11.3 available which mentions "bug fixes" (no details provided).
