Subject: Ethernet interface problem -- system lockup.

Firstly, sorry for cluttering your inboxes with an empty email.

Can anyone comment on the messages that were in our logfiles (see
below)? I can't find any similar error messages on the web or in
newsgroups.

The machine became unresponsive immediately after this. It would not
respond to either the network, or keyboard.

It is running a RedHat kernel 2.4.20 or similar.

Is it possible to tell kernel to be more debug (and syslog)?
Which drivers? Which hardware? .config
Some more info needed.

Maybe netdev is beeter mailing list for this.

thanks,
