GMAC Ethernet Controller Cannot Attach to PHY DMesg Flood

[ThothK]

Hi Counterpillow,

Thank you again for your efforts.

I suspect some sort of hardware problem with ethernet on a Quartz64 B I have. Plebian is unable to use the ethernet port.

Is there a way in plebian to disable the attempt to attach to PHY / ethernet? If so, how can I do this?

Every 300 seconds messages are displayed showing the failed attempt. The messages fill up the logs. From previous attempts to use this particular board, I believe Plebian will crash after three days.

I have performed various methods to disable ethernet. None have stopped the error messages.

Thanks,

=Thoth=
