>> vorlon kernel: eth0: Bus master arbitration failure, status 88f2.
Interesting -- I am getting this *exact* error (a few hundred times a day) on a 1.3.79 kernel. It was suggested (on one of the debian lists) that the problem was the video card I'm using (Diamond Stealth2000 DRAM, I think) which is said to "not play well with others". I'm also using an Adaptec pci scsi card and a AT-something PCI ethercard (when I'm back at the office, I'll check the manuals and tell you more precisely.)
The motherboard is a very recent generic pentium motherboard, with a P166 and 64M of RAM. Kernel identifies a Triton chipset, AHA-2940, and an unknown Lance PCI network device.
If anyone's got tests they can recommend, or more info on the problem (we'll probably get a couple more systems like this but would prefer to eliminate the problem first, and the best suggestion we have so far is to randomly use some other video card...) I'd appreciate it.
