Removing IO-APIC from the kernel solved the networking and IRQ problems (yay :)).
depmod -a and/or make modules_install did not fix the module problems. As far as debian unstable, stability, while nice, is not essential because I shut down my computer when I've not using it; an uptime of more than 24 hours is a waste of power in my case. Because of this, I'm willing to sacrifice stability for updated software, such as Mozilla 1.1/Gnome2/Apache2/PHP 4.2/etc, which will probably take a long time to reach stable. It seems to me that using debian stable is a poorly optimized combination of stability/performance/features/compatibility for non-server applications. Although one might not be able to maintain a 2 year uptime, I believe that most of the software in unstable is much better than "testing" quality. I was using Gentoo before Debian with no stability problems, so I don't think unstable would be any worse. Anyway, thanks for the quick help guys. -Chris On Sat, 7 Sep 2002, Paul David Sack wrote: > Yesterday at 10:28pm, Chris Kennedy expounded: > > ++ NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out > ++ eth0: transmit timed out, status e4660000, CSR12 000050ca, resetting... > > Cheap NIC?
