I get these periodically on an Ultra 1 which isn't doing much,
apparently correlated with installing Debian 2.4.19-sun4u_24:
kernel: eth0: Happy Meal out of receive descriptors, packet dropped.
I've also had one occurrence of this, prior to the interface
collapsing completely:
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, resetting
kernel: eth0: Happy Status 03030000 TX[000003ff:00000101]
kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, resetting
kernel: eth0: Happy Status 03030000 TX[000003ff:00000101]
kernel: eth0: Link is up using internal transceiver at 100Mb/s, Half Duplex.
I had problems on this box before installing an advertised patch for
hme (timing problems?) on Ultra 1 in 2.4.18. Afterwards it apparently
ran happily on the custom 2.4.18 and Ben Collins said the relevant fix
would be in the Debian 2.4.19.
Assuming this is a kernel problem rather than a hardware problem, can
I run anything to help diagnose it?
