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.

Probably it's the miss config of PIC. Can you post more info?

[I'm currently having nasty ISP problems, so I've removed myself from

I'm running a single (old) processor, and I dont have mptable 
installed.... I can't even find a package for it, am I missing 
something? Sorry!

For reference,
Thanks to Ogawa Hirofumi,
the solution was to use noapic on the boot line, as my machine is too 
old to handle APIC well.

Cheers

Mark.
