I was able to narrow this down a bit - the problem can be reproduced with the ne2k-pci driver alone, sky2 is not needed. Powering off isn't necessary, either. Hardware preparation: - eth0: Compex ReadyLink 2000 (BNC+TP), ne2k-pci driver, network cable disconnected How to reproduce the problem: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 ifconfig eth0 0 up ifconfig br0 192.168.1.17 up sync find / >/dev/null & ping -b 192.168.1.255 This will lock up my system, usually within a few seconds. Some additional information: - I could not reproduce the problem when using eth0 directly, without a bridge. - Booting with "maxcpus=1" does not help, the problem remains. My system doesn't boot with "nosmp", otherwise I would have tried this too. - Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 - /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2133.394 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4269.87 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2133.394 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4267.07 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: -
