Network Freeze - Loop Error

[sotpap]

Dear all,

I have the following issue with a proxmox installation with 3 servers running on it.
Randomly, I get the following info on the proxmox screen: enp2s0: rtl_txcfg_empty_cond == 0 (loop 666 delay 100).
Then, the whole network freezes and I cannot find what's going on.
Somewhere, I read that it might be a driver's issue.
Is there any way to solve this, or find out the reason?
No clustering, two Linux instances & 1 Win10.

is it a realtek card ?

Unfortunately, yes. Is there any update I could do for the card, or buy a new one?

I don't have find any bugfix :/

 

[spirit]

but maybe you can try to intall "firmware-realtek" from buster-backports ?

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/poo...e/firmware-realtek_20200817-1~bpo10+1_all.deb
dpkg -i firmware-realtek_20200817-1~bpo10+1_all.deb

 

[sotpap]

Thank you. I will try this and I will let you know. This won't break my installation. Correct?

I really appreciate your help and thank you for your time.

yes, no problem, the firmware is loaded at boot in initramfs

I get this error when trying to install...
root@proxmox:~# dpkg -i firmware-realtek_20200817-1~bpo10+1_all.deb

mmm, ok, didn't known that pve-firmware already provide realtek firmware.

So, I think you don't need to install this package, you are already up to date.

I changed the card with an Intel E1000. Seems to be working, although after 4 days I got an error which said:
enp2s0: Reset adapter unexpectedly.
enp2s0: Detected Hardware unit hang.
But, it came after a power loss on the router connected. So, I have no strong evidence that it's a proxmox issue.
