If you don't use the noirqdebug option, do you have the same problem? /Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

(I tried a few times and it always crashed, whereas without noirqdebug I've switched mode successfully hundreds of times.) Without the i915 module both network and console switching work.

Now that I know what to look for, I notice that the network errors always started cropping up after X11 started. Wonder what's going on here. Why is the graphics driver killing my network? I guess you got the wrong commit, and the correct one should be the one where Dave adds vblank interrupts. It should be close to the one you listed. Some i915 chips have buggy interrupts. What happens is that the display interrupts are duplicated on the sound interrupt channel. Usually there's no interrupt handler there that recognizes them, and after a while, the kernel detects too many spurious interrupts and disables the sound IRQ line. If the network sits on the same IRQ line, it will be disabled as well. If you check your kernel logs, you will probably have messages about disabled IRQs. A workaround is to add the noirqdebug (I hope I remember the spelling correctly) kernel option at boot time. /Thomas Marcus -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEroy7XjXn6TzcAQkRAp7bAJ9F7HgWg+VsvQ0fwkK3+b4Ne+tASwCg8+m3 8i5BoW+ujUjoX3DLW0QKAPQ= =MDAc -END PGP SIGNATURE- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Marcus Better [EMAIL PROTECTED] : I'm seeing this problem on my Acer Travelmate 223X laptop with built-in Realtek 8139: The ethernet stops working, usually after at most a few minutes operation. The problem appears in kernel 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, but not in 2.6.15. Broken again :o( In a better world, you would narrow the suspect with a git bissect [1] between v2.6.15 and v2.6.16. As an alternate solution, you may try the patches available at http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/8139 against v2.6.15, starting from 0001 and going to 0006 (of course you can revert the patches against v2.6.16 from 0006 to 0001 too). I can't claim that each step will compile though.
