Oh yes.....I don't have the FEC driver updated for that board

that port and get the CLLF utility program to initialize it
because I have been too lazy, something still isn't quite
right.

I've got the kernel to boot thanks to your instructions, and it does keep
running after the error appears. I notice that the fec driver in the 2.3.18
kernel is a little different, but I haven't managed to get that kernel to run
at all yet, so I'm hanging with 2.2.13 at least for now.

If it appears to be working, then just keep smiling and go
on about your business.  Don't try any performance tests.......

Hmmm... performance tests are something I'm thinking about trying pretty soon!

That particular error looks legitimate.  Probably some kind
of a hard network error.  Since the buffer wasn't marked as +last,
it looks like someone is jumping on the bus with late collisions
or something.  How often does it occur?

Every couple of minutes or so; it seems to happen most during NFS traffic. I
haven't really hunted it hard yet though.

Thanks,
Graham
