Package: linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.2-486
Version: 2.6.30-8~bpo50+1
Severity: critical
Under heavy network usage (i.e. viewing photos served via sshfs to
another PC), Dell Latitude CP M233ST laptop running as home
fileserver, network stops functioning. I have to reboot to get the
network working again. I read that the IRQ handling was changed, and
it was suggested to try one of the newest kernels. I used the
linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 initially. Then I tried an experimental
build-image kernel (linux-image-2.6.30-1-486) and backports kernel
(linux-image-2.6.30-2-486) and although less frequent, the NETDEV
WATCHDOG still occurs under heavy usage.
The /var/log/messages file shows the following:
