Description of problem: Tulip driver is causing kernel oops. Can't seem to tell what it triggering it. Happens every few days. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.25.6-27.fc8 How reproducible: not on demand, but happens every couple of days. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot box with tulip card present Actual results: oops, system becomes unstable, all network processes hang Expected results: no oops Additional info: 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11) 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) tulip card is the ADMtek. This card worked fine without oops on previous install of F8 using slightly older kernel. Recently did fresh install. See attached oops. When I first reinstalled, I had 2 ADMtek cards in it, but it started oopsing very quickly so I thought maybe it was a bad NIC and put a 8139 in place of 1 ADMtek, and the oops then started occurring less frequently, but still occurs as you see. I will probably replace the last ADMtek with another 8139 and I'm sure the problem will go away. From what I can see, I seriously doubt this is faulty hardware (I have lots of experience with these things).
Created attachment 310499 [details] output from 3 different oops
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
