I think the watchdog kicked-in because the via-rhine driver did not respond to a command (I think I read somewhere that it waits 10ms). So, assuming that the Ethernet controller has hung, the system attempts to reset the VT6102 chip, but looking at the log that isn't successful either, it just repeats the process forever.
I'm tempted to install an Intel Pro 1000 card I have hanging around until someone takes notice of this problem. Like you say, it's very troublesome. -- NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (via-rhine): transmit queue 0 timed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454747 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
