If it is not enough, you may have found something new: - please open a PR at http://bugzilla.kernel.org - send: o 'lspci -vx' o complete dmesg after log (check that the very first lines do not disappear), o lsmod o cat /proc/interrupts before f*ckup o ifconfig output - do the keyboard led still answer after the lockup ? - is NFS implied in your configuration ? If not can you reproduce the issue with torrent or ftp alone ? -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
