And I've fully bisected this hang twice and both times came up with commit 33f807ba0d9259e7c75c7a2ce8bd2787e5b540c7 Author: Stephen Hemminger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon Nov 19 19:24:52 2007 -0800 [NETPOLL]: Kill NETPOLL_RX_DROP, set but never tested. which is stupid because that patch doesn't do anything. However I am using netconsole-over-e100 and the hang does go away when I disable netconsole on the kernel boot command line. I'd say it's some timing thing in netpoll/netconsole/napi/etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
