Running the Redhat 2.4.18-4 kernel fixes the problem. I saw this entry in the rpm's changelog: * Sat Aug 25 2001 Ingo Molnar - fix the acenic driver bug that caused random kernel memory being sent out on the wire, on x86 systems with more than 4 GB RAM. I tried to pull the relevant bits out of linux-2.4.17-selected-ac-bits.patch and linux-2.4.18-tg3.patch, with no success. I mailed Ingo with no response. Does anybody remember what the fix was, or still have the patch handy? -- Dave Hansen haveblue@us.ibm.com
