| |
I was wondering if anyone knew if this had been resolved or see this problem too. I am having the same problem. However, I am using 2.5.64 kernel and I have tried both an eepro100 and a 3com-tornado ethernet card.
I use netperf to create a load of packets, and within minutes I receive a few "eth0: Bus master arbitration failure, status ffff" and then the machine locks up. (This seems to only happen with a heavy load.)
I have no problems when I use 2.4.18-3 smp kernel (Redhat 8.0) and I have also used a 2.4.19 kernel a while back with no problems.
I am using a 2-way IBM Netfinity 4500 and a 4-way xSeries 350. No problems on a uniprocessor.
Thanks, for any info.
Regards, Joy
