Cisco Cisco TV Streamer Application

This release contains the following open caveats:

CSCtt22964

Symptom:

Transmit unit hang detected on e1000 interfaces during a server bring-up soon after upgrading from 
Release 2.3.3.

Conditions:

Happens only after upgrading the software from Release 2.3.3 during server bring-up on servers 
with e1000 adapters in quad formation and specific adapters on that quad configuration. 

Workaround:

Rebooting a second time fixes the issue. This is a know issue with Intel drivers. Following is the 
excerpt from the driver README:

Detected Tx Unit Hang in Quad Port Adapters

-------------------------------------------

In some cases ports 3 and 4 don't pass traffic and report 'Detected Tx Unit

Hang' followed by 'NETDEV WATCHDOG: ethX: transmit timed out' errors. Ports 

1 and 2 don't show any errors and will pass traffic.

This issue MAY be resolved by updating to the latest kernel and BIOS. The 

user is encouraged to run an OS that fully supports MSI interrupts.

CSCtr15443 

Symptom:

Evaluators shown as continuously active; they never seem to complete.

Conditions:

A disk drive that is bad or failing, yet not sufficiently bad to be declared “sick” by the disk driver 
continues to go in and out of “repair” mode, causing the evaluators to constantly restart and 
inhibiting the evaluators from completing.

In addition, the evaluators need to have a significant amount of local work that needs to be done 
(such as defragging or smoothing).  If the amount of work is small, this symptom may not be 
exhibited because the evaluators are able to complete the task during the small windows of time that 
the disk drive is not in repair mode.

Workaround:

Remove and replace the bad disk drive.

Symptom:

System KDB may occur.

Conditions:

Removing a front-mounted device before the logical preparations for removal are complete.
