Hi,
I have a friend who is trying to make a linux gateway onto a network with one of these cards. He is masquerading a dual booting machine through a linux box with two cards: - a PCI NE2000 clone - Accton 1207D TX (picked up as SMC 1211 and using the Realtek 8139 driver)
Whenever he scps stuff between the two machines (over the Accton card) and seemingly whenever there is much network activity, he gets messages like:
Transmit timeout status 0c 0005 media 08 Tx queue start entry 42320 dirty entry 42316 hda lost interrupt and sometimes: RTL8139 interrupt line blocked status 5.
This is with 2.2.14 which has the 1.07 driver. Trying 1.08 from Donald Becker's webpage didn't help and got a similar error.
Is this a known problem? Searching archives I found similar problems but no real solutions.
Once this happens his computer is effectively dead. Seeming nothing can get to the disk. The messages repeat ad infinitum.
I check /proc/interrupts and there didn't seem to be any obvious clashes: CPU0 0: 220054 XT-PIC timer 1: 7403 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 30135 XT-PIC serial 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 10: 86640 XT-PIC eth0 11: 71 XT-PIC eth1 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 246234 XT-PIC ide0 NMI: 0
NB eth1 is the RTL 8139 and eth0 is the ne2k-pci
After the problem, cat /proc/interrupts shows that the interrupts for ide0 are not increasing.
Any ideas?
Simon.
