It was mentioned that this only affects certain em(4) chips. Namely
the 82573, ICH8, and 82542. If you have one of these chips, you*will*
experience this issue if you use the machine long enough.
I could go for days, sometimes a week or more without seeing it, but
it would eventually hit this bug (particularly when under high CPU
loads).
Your dmesg should tell you what kind of chip you have.
My T60:
em0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82573L" rev 0x00: msi...
My X61t:
em0 at pci0 dev 25 function 0 "Intel ICH8 IGP M AMT" rev 0x03: msi...
My T60 has:
em0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82573L" rev 0x00: msi ...
so it appears to be the same as yours, interesting that I did not hit it
yet. Since it is a laptop I do reboot it almost every day, maybe I will
live with it else I'll follow your advice of the kernel patch.
I keep this machine explicitly to "release", then I have another laptop
where I run snapshots.
Thank you for the information.
Riccardo
