Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.26-21lenny4 Severity: normal On some of my systems, some time after boot (from about 1 to 8 days) the kernel stops emitting packets (?). Using tcpdump on eth0 on the guest I could see incoming ARP requests from the host but no answers. No errors have been logged by the kernel and removing and loading again virtio_net fixed the issue. I experienced this bug 4 times, three on a system running 2.6.26-2-amd64 and one on another system running 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64. I have over 100 guests running the same kernels (some also running the same services of the affected ones) but so far I have seen this only on these two recently installed systems. I can't see how this could be related but all the affected systems use AMD CPUs, while most other systems use Intel CPUs. The hosts are running RHEL5 (kernel 2.6.18-194.el5). -- ciao, Marco
