Hi all, when transferring lots of traffic, I am seeing loads of kernel errors.
This particular machine has four E1000 which are all connected to a Cisco 6500. The interfaces are bonded into one virtual interface, bond0. I will try to include all relevant information; if I forgot anything or you need more details/other traces please poke me.
