Subjecttx queue start entry x dirty entry y (was 8139too PCI IRQ issues)
Date
Hi,
I'm getting similar results to Nick Warne, in that when my ethernet is
stressed at all (for instance by NFS), I end up with
nfs: server..... not responding, still trying
nfs: server .... OK

With a realtec card, I get errors in /var/spool/messages along the
lines of:
Jul 3 14:31:13 localhost kernel: eth1: Transmit timeout, status 0c
0005 c07f media 00.
Jul 3 14:31:13 localhost kernel: eth1: Tx queue start entry 1160
dirty entry 1156.
Jul 3 14:31:13 localhost kernel: eth1: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a03c.
(queue head)

I have no TPM (as far as I can find)

Hence I dont think this is the same problem, but it's manifestation is
identical.

I was using a realtec card, using the 8139too driver, hence I first
suspected that. As a test, I have an even older 3com509B, using that
gives exactly the same results (though it doens't seem to be kind
enough to output anything to /var/log/debug, so all you get are the
"server not responding" messages under heavy NFS load.
lsmod however, shows both modules loaded....

I'm running debian, and recently got a recent kernel image
/proc/version gives:
Linux version 2.6.11-1-386 (dannf@firetheft) (gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian
1:3.3.6-6)) #1 Mon Jun 20 20:53:17 MDT 2005

Im not a kernel expert at all, any help sorting this problem would be
appreciated, but Its only worth fixing if it's a general problem -- if'
I'm on my own, I'll fix it with a band-aid :-)

Cheers

Mark.
