Xen users - May 2006 - peth0 transmit timed out, @cea56200 length 80000042 status 00000042, help please?

Hello list,

I have network problems on dom0
I discovered this trying to copy user''s homes from another box onto
dom0.
I have tried this via mouting tcp nfs and also via ftp. Both methods
give me the same problem.

When I try to send lots of continuos traffic the tcp connection bottoms out.
I get this on dom0

peth0 transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000

thanks Julien,

I''ve tried both pci=noacpi and acpi=off
I''ve also moved the network card onto another slot.
I''m still getting the same error messages but now the connection
doesn''t get lost.

this is on a xen3.0.2-2
I''m ftping a big tarball onto dom0

watching the network traffic, it slows right down, almost to a stop,
then I get the errors on dom0 console and the network picks up again.

any thoughts?

Cheers.
Chris.

For the record.
> I''ve tried both pci=noacpi and acpi=off
opps syntax, that should have been noacpi, but still didn''t help :(

So, after moving the network card onto another slot (same problem
again), I changed the ethernet card for another one.
It was a: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)
I tried a different: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)
same problem.
Then I tried a: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 64)
same problem.
Then a: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10)
and now it works! no "peth0 transmit timed out" errors

note: I''ve two nics.
The built-in: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
never gave me any trouble. I was having problems with the second card
(on a pci slot).

My kernel config is attached if it interests anyone.
