Greetings,This is my first post the mailing lists, so please forgive me if I err.I am setting up a new system, and running into several issues on various distros, all Debian based. This is the DEBIAN mailing list, so I will limit my discussion specifically to Debian "sarge", from the current net install image.
The setup goes smoothly, and I can boot into my minimal Debian system. I can apt-get to my heart's content, browse with some of the text browsers and do just about anything else. However, when this specific system receive INCOMING traffic, it begins to drop it's connection. Very specifically, this system will be used to host websites and after successfully installing either Ravencore (
www.ravencore.com) or VHCS, and administering them via the web interface from a different computer on my network, I get these errors.
I posted this question in #Debian on freenode, and got some response, however none of the responses solved the issue.
While this machine sits at a root terminal, it prompts me with a quite sizable blob of text, below:NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed outeth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 e000.diagnostics net 0cd8 media 8880 dma 00a0 fifo

I am fairly certain it is NOT bad media.
I have installed with the 2.4 kernel, the 2.6, used a kernel from another distro, passed the acpi=off flag, loaded with noapic, nolapic (in all possible combinations).Here are some system specs, to try to make life a LITTLE easier.
