Hello all, I have posted the same message on Intel's support forums, but I think some of you would like to know about this -- perhaps someone might have experienced something similar? We have two Dell Optiplex GX1's (P3/600) with Intel Pro/1000 adapters. The OS is Linux 2.2.9 (for ATM support). The driver is from Intel's website (support.intel.com). Both computers crash _very_ badly under a high load: Pro/1000 interface stops responding in a few seconds using 'ping -f <other box>'. Soon after that there is (sometimes) a kernel panic. You _always_ get kernel panic, if you stop the flooding and remove the driver with rmmod. Both computers, the sender and the recipient crash the same way. Under a light load NIC's seem to work fine. The only way to get Pro/1000 NIC working again is doing a total power on/off. Reset isn't sufficient - the other host won't respond to ping. Any ideas/thoughts? PS, I'm not subscibing to the list and I didn't find any current archives, so if anything comes up about this, please CC it to me.
