This has been seen on 8 boxes so far, probably more, but only 8 reported. And the problem started to show itself after update from 7.0.33 to 7.6.15.5. Maybe we are missing something in configuration? Maybe some driver parameters are incorrect? setting debug to 16, or to 21 (as suggested in one of the mails in another thread) doesn't produce any useful info to understand what is wrong. Though dmesg show that watchdog for eth2 is running and a message that TSO is on follows.. Thanks for the support. On Thu 22/05/08 12:25 AM , "Ronciak, John" sent: > Doubtful.
