My machine has two things in common with your setup, hardware-wise: the AMD Athlon (mine is an MP system) and the on-board ethernet (not wireless). I'm also running the 2.6.24-16 (actually maybe 17? the latest Hardy) kernel. Oddly, torrents work fine for me, but any heavy local traffic (such as a multi-GiB FTP or SMB backup) cause a hard freeze.
My mainboard is a Tyan S2466, AMD-760 MPX chipset, on-board 3Com 3C920 ethernet. What ethernet controller(s) do you have? Can others report their hardware specs? Maybe we can isolate a common thread. -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
