Marvell 88E8056/88E8001 problem


Recommended Posts

I have had these errors in the past but now when I'm moving stuff to unraid I get many "Tower kernel: sky2 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514" errors?

 

Could it be my NIC or is this software based?

 

Transfers seem to go ok, but that is really annoying, can this effect transfer speeds?

 

What controllers are suggested nowadays?

I have the latest bios. It's like 6 years old board so I don't think they even update the bios anymore. 2009 was the lastest update.

 

I was just thinking what does that error mean? Is it fatal?

 

I am thinking of upgrading the hw at some point, but it's just that I really like the board with 8 onboard sata connections and 2x PCI-e (x8). And it's ASUS.  8)

 

I would not want to upgrade to a hot Haswell and those 3rd generation boards with even about the same specs are very rare find. If not bought from ebay. Why are those supermicro boards so damn expensive even though they do not have features to support the price? Slow expansion slots, only few onboard satas.... why?
