Subject: e1000e on DH55HC stalling and kernel panic in 3.6.6

Hi

I just tried to run latest kernel on my DH55HC motherboard latest kernel
3.6.6 and got various network problems, such as network traffic are
stopping, and sometimes i am getting kernel panic.
When traffic are stopping, ethtool -r eth0 sometimes helps.
When i do ethtool -G eth0 rx NNN , sometimes it will give kernel panic,
but it is hard to reproduce.

I tried to capture panic on pictures, so will try to decode on what i got
photo, it is a nightmare, but sadly i dont have serial in hands to get
data over it.

There is also more data, let me know if you need it.
Yes, please send us the full dmesg log with error.
Have you tried out-of-tree e1000e driver?

-Tushar
It is kernel panic, and screen is not good that i am unable to get proper photo.
Should i try to make photos and send them as pictures?
I will try to get also tomorrow USB Serial, and probably i can output there panic message.

I will try also out of tree e1000e tomorrow first.
