Hi, Why should I be getting the following kind of messages. This happens once in a while and seems to have no effect on the working of the system which is RedHat Linux 4.2 with all updates applied. The eth0 Tx FIFO error perhaps indicates some problem in communication on the ethernet. The RedHat Linux 4.2 machine is acting as a samba server. I get the eth0 messages once in a while while using rcp too. =============== kernel: Warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(4) != #fd's(5) in tty_open kernel: Warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(4) != #fd's(5) in release_dev =============== kernel: eth0: Tx FIFO error! Status 02ea. =============== -- Raj +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Raj Singh | EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | IC Design Group |---------------------------------| | CEERI, Pilani - 333 031 | PHONE : 91-1596-42359 (office) | | Rajasthan (INDIA) | FAX : 91-1596-42294 (office) | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
