In case you have BIOS 04.., try to upgrade to 06.. version. Also, does it help when you boot with acpi=off kernel commandline parameter? (do you compile kernel with both acpi and apic support?).Upgraded to bios 0802, but still the same problem. I think it's definitely something about the r8169 driver. acpi=off doesn't help. turning on/off apic also doesn't matter.

one thing more - have confirmed that the bug is reproducible on *any* laptop with 8168, not only Asus. I guess the disk-usage-crash was some other bug.
Confusing ... the other day you stated that r1000 has the exactly same problem? Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
