There are a few emails everyday relating to this bug. The following patch posted by "Troels Walsted Hansen" on Jan 11th fixes this. The problem is that when 2 consequtive NULLs are sent to klogd it goes into a busy loop. Andrew Mortons 3c59x driver does this, but also on Jan 11th he replied that he had fixed it. I'm using 2.4ac4 with no problems, so I presume some of these patches have been lost along the way? Yes, that did it. It also explains why my desktop works fine, since it uses an eepro100 network card. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
