Hello, On dual proc Xeon with dual ethernet Intel e1000, when I run a tcpdump, according to network traffic my system freezes. The console is dead, the only way to restore the system is an electric power restart.
My configuration is : # uname -a Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp #1 SMP Tue Aug 16 12:08:30 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux # lspci -vv 0000:02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 019a Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (63750ns min), Cache Line Size: 0x10 (64 bytes) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 201 Region 0: Memory at fe9e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 2: I/O ports at ecc0 [size=64] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [e4] PCI-X non-bridge device.
