Hi, I have a problem on a machine running CentOS 7.0, where the kernel/e1000e reports things like "Detected Hardware Unit Hang:" and "Reset adapter unexpectedly". The kernel version is 3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64.
I had a similar issue years ago with the same machine running openSUSE 12.3 with kernel 3.7.10, and downgrading to 3.4.47 fixed it completely. At that time, I found this bug reported in fedora, marked as WONTFIX due to the fedora release hitting EoL https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785806 and the dmesg output looks similar. And recently I found this old bug for CentOS 6. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6517 to which I replied but haven't seen any activity there for a week. Years ago on openSUSE 12.3 with kernel 3.7.10, this would eventually make the network fail completely requiring a reboot. So far (up 12 days) the machine with 3.10.x hasn't been disconnected long enough to be noticeable. I have seen http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/?id=09357b00255c233705b1cf6d76a8d147340545b8 as mentioned in the fedora bug page, and it appears to already be applied to this kernel. *Here are the details for the machine with the problem: *root@machine:~ # lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS Linux
