Hi guys,
I myself don't have any PPC32 box but I just googled some of the keywords Ruediger posted "gem eth0: RX MAC fifooverflow smac"
and there were even similar or related messages going back to 2004 (and kernel 2.6.9).
Slab corruption seems to be involved (in some ?) cases (e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg08345.html)
so it sounds serious to me (from an users point of view).
A kind of temporary fix seems to rmmod and modprobe the kernel-module, according to:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1428330
For the German speaking folks there's a thread over at forums.gentoo.org (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-862767.html)
and 2 additional English threads which might provide additional info on this (and another sound) issue:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-862229.html "kernel: eth0: RX MAC fifo overflow smac"
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-862579.html "Soundissue extreme quietly"
I'm not subscribed to the list so please CC
Thanks & Regards
Matt
