Thanks Ben. My first bug report, so excuse the lack of info. :-) This is a command you can run from the Windows command prompt to cause the crash (I believe the -l switch is equivilent to -s on unix, but I think windows might handle ICMP pings a little different too)

This is most of the kernel panic. It scrolls away awfully fast and I had to change the resolution and font the screen was running just to get this much. The things I do for FOSS. :) I apologize that this is the best I can do. I hope you guys can piece the images together. http://imgur.com/XEmTX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Gw4bF.jpg http://imgur.com/TbetX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K02cG.jpg Here's some additional info about my interfaces. I believe the MTU setting of the Realtek card is important to making this crash happen but I haven't tested too thoroughly. eth0 is the Realtek r8169, lan is the bridge that eth0 is in. # ifconfig lan lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 7a:34:02:b8:64:c3 inet addr: ******** Bcast:********* Mask:***.***.***.*** inet6 addr: fe80::7834:2ff:feb8:64c3/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:7200 Metric:1 RX packets:905381 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:492748 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1295671698 (1.2 GiB) TX bytes:204807650 (195.3 MiB) # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr bc:ae:c5:b7:a1:0c inet6 addr: fe80::beae:c5ff:feb7:a10c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:7200 Metric:1 RX packets:911947 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:496354 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1317822031 (1.2 GiB) TX bytes:206052740 (196.5 MiB) Interrupt:30 Base address:0x8000 # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces lan 8000.7a3402b864c3 no eth0 tap0 Thanks, Aaron Opfer -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Bug#637122: general: Realtek RTL8111 with r8169 module causes kernel panic on large packets From: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk> Date: Mon, August 08, 2011 11:13 am To: Aaron Opfer <aop...@bennett-electric.com>, 637...@bugs.debian.org On Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 11:34:38AM -0400, Aaron Opfer wrote: > Package: general > Severity: normal > > The kernel panics when it receives a packet on an interface running the r8169 > module that is of sufficient size. [...] Which package version do you have installed? (Run 'dpkg -s 'linux-image-2.6.32-5-686'.) Also, you must send the panic messages. Use a serial console or digital camera to capture them.
