Can't compile Intel ixgbe official driver, Error 1, Error 2

t_wrex · 2024-05-31 10:32:34

I am having a very hard time getting Arch to work witjh a new SFF PC. It is this device https://www.qotom.net/product/RouterPC_Q20331G9S10.html , the CPU is an Intel Atom C3000 and the network adapter I am trying to get to work is an Intel X553.

The problem is that in an out of the box install, the 10G SFP link to my switch immediately goes down once the ixgbe driver module is loaded. The link lights light up and the switch reports a good 10G connection until the driver is loaded. Once this happens the link never comes up again until i reboot the device, when the whole thing starts all over, link lights until the driver loads. Like most problems I post about on here, the journal/dmesg contains absolutely nothing at all related to networking, errors, anything....

So i start searching, apparently many people have this problem, it looks like one of the latest kernel versions broke the built-in module. Many people report needing to download the official Intel driver from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en … linux.html

So i do that. I'm already able to compile other software on the machine, base-devel and linux-headers are installed. The compile fails with the following output:

And... i have no idea what to do next.... Ideas? Oh, and as usual the hardware works perfectly in Windows......

Use:

CFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration'

t_wrex · 2024-05-31 11:44:07

Sorry, but how would i "use" that? I tried doing "make CFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration'" and "export CFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration'; make" but neither one worked, the output was identical as before.

You most likely don't need to manually build this and it should already be in the kernel. Who are "many people report" and what kernels are they running? You're essentially trying to build a kernel module intended for a 5.19 kernel while we're on 6.9

When "the driver loads and things fail" can you still check with e.g. ip addr on what your network devices are, which network daemon are you attempting to use?

Also while you might not see anything, throw more eyeballs at the log, after reproduction of such an issue post

sudo journalctl -b

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

Also if this is due to a driver stall, try enabling REISUB and running through the sequence (wait ~3secs between key presses) and after the reboot, check whether the journal of the prior boot contains more info (journalctl -b-1)

Not following you.... i am trying to build a driver, not a kernel......

I am not using any network daemon. I am just trying to get the link to come up, then try to add a static IP to it. When the system boots, "ip link" shows the link is down, even though there is a link light on. I run "ip link set dev [DEV] up" and the link light goes out, and never comes back, and "ip link" still says the link is down. I can manually add an IP to the link using "ip addr add dev [DEV] 192.168.1.2/24". and after doing that "ip addr" shows the IP i just added, but the link is still down and the link lights are off.

I will need some time to look at your other suggestions.

Was a typo, I meant to say "kernel module"

You need to make all the changes to the 5.19 driver that the kernel developers already made to in tree driver such as https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … e6aa71d3b4 and https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … f5b1730afc

That.... sounds very difficult. I wouldn't know where to start.......

I found an old Arch install ISO that has kernel 5.19, i booted it and the SFP+ port immediately worked perfectly, so something obviously broke between then and now.... Feels like a solution is near, or at least will be soon if/when the in tree driver is fixed.

AUR has packages for older linux-lts versions , use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-lts515 .

5.15 will be maintained until atleast dec 2026.
