Make sure you have slab debugging enabled to see if you also get the slab
corruption messages, and then hit the machine with anything above 50000
packets per second. pktgen from a different machine on the same subnet
works nicely for that. I doubt that downloading a Red Hat iso would give
you a load anywhere near that.
Oh, do you have an SMP box? This was on a 2-way (4-way HT) SMP box. Not
sure if that matters here.
I'm just about to try 2.6.0-mm2 without NAPI.
