On my newly installed 2 CPU server with redhat-7.0 I have two Adaptec
quartet64 (ANA-62044) ethernet cards. Using the 2.4.0-testxx kernel I
get this kernel error for something that looks like every single packet
passing the network interface, providing vast syslog files, and makes i t impossible to use the console terminal to anything usefull, also
featuring unreliable network connection.
kernel: eth0: Internal fault: The skbuff addresses do not match in netdev_rx: 922368017 vs. f6fa3800 / f6fa3810.
The numbers changes as the errors keep coming rapidly.
I have tried the preview "2.4.0-26" kernel provided on the redhat
cd-drom, and selfcompiled versions of 2.4.0-test11 and 2.4.0-test12
kernels using
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
glibc-2.2-5.
The network itself is kind of working, providing speed from 11.5Mbytes/ to 3-4Mbytes/s on one tp cable, but sometimes hangs for a while,
providing lousy and unreliable network performance.
The nic is currently connected with a single cat5 tp
cable to a switch, with auto-negotiation for speed and duplex enabled,
showing no errors either on the switch side nor from the output of ifconfig.
Since the network seems to be working almost fine, I believe it's just a small bug that needs to be located and fixed.
It seems to be working fairly ok the the few hours I've been running on 2.2.18 with Donald Becker's starfire.c driver.
