We're using DEC Celebris GL6200 with 21143 tulip cards, and the only version of the driver that seems to work is v0.91 from the NASA website. This is also true on my 2.1 installation, which is not having quite as substantial a problem, but then it isn't running exactly the same suite of daemons (etc.)
Does any happen to see anything in this list of active processes that might be causing so many collsions? The activity is very sporadic, but there do seem to be an awful lot of them (ifconfig listing below ps listing): PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? SW 0:06 (init) 2 ? SW 0:00 (kflushd) 3 ?
