   kernel: eth0: Happy Meal out of receive descriptors, packet dropped.
   
That message is harmless.

   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.
   
Yes, this patch is the recommended fix people should use until I come
up with a better solution.

Franks a lot,
