Hm, I think I saw something the like. The configuration was basically SuSE 7.3
(with 2.4.10-whatever kernel) and two Realtek cards in a not-trusted cheap box.
I saw a good amount of collisions on the network, too. I replaced the Realteks
with DLink and the kernel with 2.4.16 and it did not happen again, although the
network collisions stayed the same. I tend to think it is the old kernel, but I
don't like Realtek cards anyway, so I threw them out in one go.

Tell us if it happens again with 2.4.17, or if you are sure it does not,
declare it as solved.

Regards,
Stephan

The RealTek 8139 is a bad choice, I had the same effect on one of our
servers until I replaced it with a NE2000. I think this is related to
busmaster DMA.

I have copmpiles 2.4.16 and did some tests with a mirrored system (
only the system, without the harddisks with data) using different
NICs: Davicom FE (dmfe), RT 8139C (8139too) and SMC 9432 EtherPower II
83c172 (epic100).
The System did work fine (the Realtek-NIC I had a huge amount of
collisions, but it did work!, with the SMC-NIC the Tx-speed was not
hipeak, but it did work werry constant).
I testet nearly every protocol I can handle and created a realy hard
networktraffic for a nearly a complete day and the system did not crash!!
Hopefully I was setting my configuration up, connected the
data-harddisks and rebooted - id did not take 30 minutes and the
system crashed again. My knowledge of systems is not the best, but for
me this seems to be a hardwareproblem with the board. From a
retrospektiv point of view: this box did work for nearly 3 years under
Linux (suse, debian, slackware) and with FreeBSD and it worked fine -
but only with one harddisk.
I know that this ALI-board is not the best, but I did not know it is
realy so bad.

Sorry, but why with 2.4.16? Is this a typo?
