With the 8.0 kernel I am getting failures with lite-on ethernet cards. It seems I can trigger it reliably in an environment where the card transmits and is hit almost instantly by a series of frames back to back, and probably close to back to back after the transmit
*** Bug 75480 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 79645 [details] [PATCH] this is potentially a fix for this problem... need to review more and verify
Have also seen this bug. Symptom: text console reports: Spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 then ide system hangs with hda: lost interrupt reported every second or two. console is still responsive until disk access from the console occurs. has twice just reported "Unknown interrupt" and hung. how I repeat it: ssh to the box, login usually works, then hold down Enter, usually takes from 3 to 10 or so. occurs over 10mbit hub, crossover cable, and 100mb switch. Box is stock 8.0, no updates (yet). Card is labeled FA-310, with a NetGear on the back, but reports as Lite-on? Is definitely a tulip card.
That looks unrelated actually Can you file a seperate bug about this and include info on your hardware then let me know and I'll take a look
Seems happy now
