Re: [2.5.70-mm8] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

Hi,

it seems that whether the netdevice nor the 8139too parts of the kernel cause 
my problems but there must have been some bad changes to the interrupt 
routing or the IO-APIC parts.

I don't have -mm7 handy currently (but at the moment it compiles again) but I 
attached the contents of /proc/interrupts of 2.4.10 (the system I currently 
run) and 2.5.70-mm8 again.

As you can see there, the -mm8 code does not assign more than 16 interrupt 
sinks but the 2.4.10 (and if I remember correctly -mm7, too) has 22. Perhaps 
even more problematic is that -mm8 seems not to use level-triggered 
interrupts...!

I could try to revert some IRQ or APIC changes if someone could tell me which 
Changeset may have caused that...
