[Bug 562081] Re: forcedeth driver hang/freeze

[tlindvall]

Thanks for your answer.  Last time this happened my son was testing kvm running windows server in the same server.   Do you think this could be caused by kvm & windows server and host ubuntu server accessing same network interface?  Using windows server in the same server propably caused heavy load for nic.

Strange in this bug is that when ubuntu server computer nic hangs all traffic in other computers connected in the same gigabit switch stops/hangs also.  When I reboot ubuntu server all traffic in other computers works normally.
 
I'm also planning to upgrade this computer to 10.04 within couple of weeks.  I'll let you know if this is happening with 10.04.

Seems like debian bug "Bug#572201: [PATCH] forcedeth: fix tx limit2 flag
check" might be related to this.  Is there already a kernel build where
this pach has been applied (i don't have skills to patch and build
kernel)?  That kernel version might be a good candidate for testing
after upgrading to 10.04.
