Description of problem: This may just be a box on its last leg but I'm going to file the report in case everyone is watching for like reports. Losing network connection, replug cat5 usually fixes but sometimes Oops. New with this kernel. Sep 30 18:42:30 servertrent kernel: Call Trace: Sep 30 18:42:30 servertrent kernel: [<c0391540>] skb_release_data+0x62/0x75 Sep 30 18:42:30 servertrent kernel: [<c039155b>] kfree_skbmem+0x8/0x6f Sep 30 18:42:30 servertrent kernel: [<d0905b36>] e1000_clean_tx_ring+0x18b/0x20d [e1000] Sep 30 18:42:30 servertrent kernel: [<d0907b67>] e1000_tx_timeout_task+0x0/0x18 [e1000] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.13-1.1542_FC5 How reproducible: The card is reliable for ~5 hours then will the connection will die several (10) times/hour with resetting the cable fixing the problem. The oops has happened twice in a week. The first Oops was tainted with vmware modules and crashed in them. The second (reported) Oops is not tainted. Additional info: This machine may be having power supply or other issues. The machine leaves ps/2 and usb keyboards unusuable but a usb mouse plugged into the USB keyboard continues to work. It has been common for this machine to lose the USB mouse and repluggin it restores the mouse. New with this kernel is the loss of keyboard(s) and network connections. The box is HP XV976 ASUS P4T 256 MB PC600 RDRAM Intel Pentium 4/1.5 GHz second eide card, hp500 pvr 1.5 year old Intel Ethernet Pro 1000 Stuffed full of HDs Boot log Sep 30 18:05:16 servertrent kernel: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 6.0.60-k2-NAPI Sep 30 18:05:16 servertrent kernel: Copyright (c) 1999-2005 Intel Corporation.

http://www.memtest.org/ Have you tested it with memtest86+ in order to be 100% sure you don't have bad RAM?
Hi Warren memtest+ 1.60 has made three successful passes. I'll let it spin for a day just to be sure.
memtest+ 1.60 ran for 24 hours. 137 passes. Nothing failed. I'd have expected the problem to show in that timeframe. I'll be rebooting to whatever rawhide latest is but have preserved this rpm if it is interesting to test further. This box is 4+ years old. I dont expect commodity (HP) PCs to last 5 years. Any software support gets questionable at 4. But the bug is there for those interested. If it is interesting, I can drop back to the test case.
e1000 has had a lot of updates...is this still an issue?
no. Closing. Thanks for the followup. The usb mouse is still insane on the box but e1000 is working flawlessly.
