Re: [E1000-devel] Tx Unit Hang with FC5

[Jim M. <jim...@gm...>]

I have had a similiar problem with the below controller in FC5.  The
only modificaiton for the compiles is support for the Marvell Gig Eth.
 On FC4 with the 2.6.11 kernel the driver works with some annoying
messages, but no interrupt issues.  Using the 2.6.16 image on FC4 I
has issues with interrupts causing problems on this nic.  I am not
sure of the changes for the interrupt handlers between the versions at
this point.  But I did notice similiar problems on the 2 E1000 cards I
have at home.  But only on 2.6.16.  If I roll the machines with the
E1000 cards back to 2.6.8 or 2.4.32 ( both with the 7.0.33 driver ),
no problems.  One machine on Debian Sarge, the other on LFS.  As far
as I have experienced, the E1000 driver itself is not causing any
issues on older kernels with FC4/5, Debian, or a custome build.
