(Found a postponed mesasage from some time ago and restested - still a problem with 2.6.33-rc6) I have a Sun Fire V100 running bleeding-edge kernels. I usually do not transfer large amounts of data - updating debian unstable is the most stressing one. However, today I tried to copy gigabytes of data over scp to this machine and it dropped out of the network. Reson unknown, attaching serial console after that gave the following transmit timeout message that may or may not be the primary reason. 2.6.32-rc3-00052-g0eca52a: [130930.573930] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [130930.635834] WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:261 dev_watchdog+0x258/0x280() [130930.731919] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (tulip): transmit queue 0 timed out [130930.817722] Modules linked in: ipv6 fuse loop usbhid ohci_hcd sg sr_mod usbcore cdrom [130930.921905] Call Trace: [130930.955091] [0000000000454230] warn_slowpath_common+0x50/0xa0 [130931.032922] [00000000004542f4] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x34/0x60 [130931.107316] [000000000064a658] dev_watchdog+0x258/0x280 [130931.178289] [000000000045f6f4] run_timer_softirq+0x1b4/0x240 [130931.254975] [000000000045a484] __do_softirq+0xa4/0x140 [130931.324798] [000000000042a93c] do_softirq+0x7c/0xa0 [130931.391189] [000000000045a0cc] irq_exit+0x8c/0xc0 [130931.455303] [000000000042fcc4] timer_interrupt+0x64/0xa0 [130931.527412] [00000000004209d4] tl0_irq14+0x14/0x20 [130931.592671] [000000000043af60] touch_nmi_watchdog+0x0/0x60 [130931.667064] [00000000006b59a8] rest_init+0x68/0x80 [130931.732321] [00000000008247c4] start_kernel+0x2ac/0x2e8 [130931.803280] [00000000006b5924] tlb_fixup_done+0x80/0x9c [130931.874243] [0000000000000000] (null) [130931.924635] ---[ end trace 70d1b6d12c0cb235 ]--- I restared the computer and reran the test to see whether something appears on the console before - no, it doesn't, this is the first log snippet and is basically the same.
