I just downloaded and applied 2.0.36pre9 patch in oprder to fix some problems
with my Lance etthernet card. While it does seem more stable, I still get
error messages about alloc_skb being called nonatomically from an interrupt.
It usually happens when my ISA bus gets a little clogged (especially when
sound files are playing).
The exact errors were:
eth0: Tx FIFO error! status a2e2
alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 00000608
alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 00000608
alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 00000608
alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 00000608
The announcment about the bug fix for the lance driver (I believe it was back
when 2.0.36pre1 was released) said it was to fix the problem with kmalloc
being called nonatomically. I don't know if this is the same problem with a
new name, or not.
I'd appreciate any info people can give me. I'm having a very hard time
getting reliable operation from my Lance cards in Linux.
