Subject: CNet NIC (r8169.o) causes lockup?
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:05:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d533ced01001100505o5cae7bedrb93feba44729ba8c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello, I am using a CNet ProG-2000s NIC and a 2.4.37.7 kernel.
I apologize if this is not the right place to post this, but it seems
to be related to the kernel - and I had nowhere else to turn to.
Everything works fine as long as I don't insmod r8169, and when I do
it will work for a minute or so. Then I will no longer be able to ping
that card.
After another couple of minute, the server will stop responding
entirely. I have no idea what happens, everything just freezes up. The
only abnormal thing I can see is that /proc/interrupts will always say
that I have 0 NMI's until the card goes down, then it always increases
to 1.
Sometimes I can get it back by doing the following:
ifconfig eth1 down
rmmod 8169
insmod 8169
ifconfig eth1 up
But even then it only works for maybe 10-20 seconds.
My system is based on BasicLinux, but I have compiled the kernel
myself. The .config file can be found at http://pastebin.com/f5c5d73d.
Any help would be appreciated.
