RE: [Xen-devel] problem with the pro/1000 driver for intel gigabitethernet card

I have seen this (intermittent) problem on two 4P boxes and a laptop, all using
e1000 driver.

What kind of network input triggers the end of the hang? I have seen this hang
on a busy network with lots of broadcast traffic.  Did not see it with a network
restart that was separate from domain shutdown.

We''re not seeing it on 2.0.5 either. The first thing I would do would
be to diff the driver between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11.

Re: [Xen-devel] problem with the pro/1000 driver for intel gigabitethernet card

Thanks Rich for opening the bug.

I backleveled the e1000 driver to the one in xen-2.0, and I don''t see
the
problem anymore (on my 3rd attempt now, and we seeing it every time before).

The working driver version is 5.5.4-k2. 
The non-working driver version is 5.6.10.1-k2.
The latest version available is 6.0.54.

I am going to try the latest/greatest e1000 driver available, and see if that 
makes any difference.

Thanks,
Jon
