Herbst" <ruediger.herbst@...glemail.com>, Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>, benh@...nel.crashing.org Subject: Re: Sun GEM PPC32 Bug? 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 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
