| |
I've encountered some problems booting kernels when the ethernet link is not connected and linux detects this. It sometimes spews unless messages about 'eth0 link down'. This renders the machine useless. It happened when I had irq conflicts/wrong settings, but also when i just had unplugged my cable from the net. I've had it happen with 100vg and other cards (a DE4x4 in a multia).
How about a maximum of, say, one announce per minute ? :)
