Hi,

Per:
http://www.mail-archive.com/e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04232.html

I am using the drivers on e1000.sf.net for:
e1000e
igb
igbe

version:        1.3.17-NAPI
srcversion:     BA556C5C800B0D67E5F8B84
version:        3.0.22
srcversion:     45B8078075068728A5A5573
version:        3.3.9-NAPI
srcversion:     0734B0E06E21B50A92ADDFF

No crashes when I run mkfs.xfs (w/the eSATA card back in).

Will monitor throughout to see if it recurs.
When will the current -stable versions go into mainline?

Also, is there a kernel option to 'pause' or take a screenshot of a kernel 
console crash/dump/stack trace (besides kdump) and not reboot the machine 
when it crashes?

I do not have any option to reboot on panic, but sometimes it still does 
that.

Thanks!

Justin.
