kdump fails when 'options bnx2 disable_msi=1' is used
Issue
- When 'options bnx2 disable_msi=1' is used kdump can never start the 2nd kernel successfullyBut kdump can successfully operate after they remove the option.
- This option was used to workaround an issue which causes the BCM5709 NIC not to respond when using MSI-X.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.3
- Broadcom network card / bnx2 module
