And this is where I fall flat on my ass. 3days ago when my nic gave out , I googled the error.
This part : "/build/buildd/linux-3.2.0/net/sched/sch_generic.c:255 dev_watchdog+0x25a/0x270()" To see if I found anything on what happened. I was somewhat surprised I ended up at a bug report I filed myself almost 2 years ago. "Fair enough" I thought , this probably stopped happening for a while and happened again today.. I will add it to the bug report.. Lo and behold .. Nothing is further from what really happened I am sorry to say .. It happened on another computer altogether this time. : ALiveNF7G-HD720p R5.0 http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ALiveNF7G-HD720p%20R5.0 It has the latest bios installed. 2.20 This computer is my firewall/dhcp server. The one where it first happened was a general purpose headless device which I mainly used for scheduling various tasks every few hours.. It is weird this bug has crept up for so few people and twice for me on very different devices. The nic in this new instace is a PCI-Express one : http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/network-adapters/gigabit-network-adapters/gigabit-ct-desktop-adapter.html So , different MB , Different nic.. Things they were doing that were similar.. Off the top of my head ... not much... I use Shorewall to easily setup iptables on all my ubuntu computers .So iptables. It was on the same physical network though. Ss your "bios outdated" comment is targeted at a post that's almost 2 years old. That computer has the latest bios by now. The OS in question has been moved to a virtual machine, it hasn't had any issues since april 2012. Kind Regards Phoenixxl. Thank you for reading. PS: Thank you again for the link to "Bios updates and linux" I understand life is simpler when people don't report bugs at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986805 Title: WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.2.0/net/sched/sch_generic.c:255 dev_watchdog+0x25a/0x270() Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since I upgraded ubuntu server , precise pangolin this morning to kernel .23 Atheros integrated nic on asus P5G41TM_LX crashes , then seems to recover afterwards. syslog cut of crash : http://pastebin.com/z20DrWN4 --- AlsaDevices: total 0 crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 1 Apr 22 11:24 seq crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 33 Apr 22 11:24 timer AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=3c20b0c7-da48-43f4-b043-ab0637a6ff2c InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120314) IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
