Description Alexandre Oliva 2006-02-16 06:05:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
My Athlon64 notebook works perfectly reliably without Xen, but booting with the
xen-hypervisor kernel, networking is very unstable; packets stop being
transferred after a while.  The 8139too module is what it uses.

All I find in /var/log/messages are messages such as:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: peth0: transmit timed out
peth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
peth0: Promiscuous mode enabled.

What other info might be useful?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5
Comment 1 Stephen Tweedie 2006-02-24 20:30:29 UTC 
Known problem with x86_64 swiotlb, fixed upstream and should be in rawhide soon.
Comment 3 Stephen Tweedie 2006-03-15 21:28:06 UTC 
We picked up the upstream swiotlb fix for current kernels; can you reproduce the
problem on current kernels?  I'm assuming this is fixed by that patch, but
please reopen the bug if it still shows up with current rawhide kernels.
