Hi I got on a plain Suse 7.0 with two P200s (without MMX) 128 MByte the following problem: Sep 11 13:15:16 crusher kernel: eth0: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 1. Sep 11 13:15:16 crusher kernel: eth0: SMP simultaneous entry of an interrupt handler after 3.5 MByte this the system was dead. The destination ist a rieser filesystem. reboot with reset-button I tried to copy 15GByte over NFS: source single Pentium 400 , plain Suse 7.0 this networkcard on both sides (100 MBit, duplex, nway switch ) Sep 11 13:56:52 crusher kernel: rtl8139.c:v1.08 6/25/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov if this is wrong here please let me know.

Under very high VM load the system hangs and crashes if you're using 2.2.16 Try update to 2.2.17 If tou are using 2.2.17 you should report this to Alan.cox@linux.org

This is not a suse problem more a problem with the network card. I have had this problem before also with rtl8139 cards. Thus I suggest that maybe you should either get another card or put this on the linux networking list linux-net@vger.kernel.org Donald Becker is on this list he will be able to help you. I remember with mine I had to patch the rtl8139 driver. I will scratch around and see if I can find the patch and send it to you. On Tue, 12 Sep 2000, Dipl. Phys. J�rg Schl�ger wrote:

This sounds well-known to me. We are also using a couple of rtl8139-cards, and copying larger files over NFS leads very fast to a stopped network. The only workaround I found is to start ntop on the NFS server for about a second. But it's annoying and not secure to start ntop every time the network hangs this way. Btw, I also found, that the userspace NFS daemon, shipped with SuSE [6.4] hangs less than the knfsd (SuSE-linux-2.2.16). Another solution we tried was to reduce the network speed back to 10MBit, and everything worked fine (but this option is out of question). If there are known solutions and patches, please PM to me.
