eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt

[Gerhard Poul <gp@office.atnet.at>]

Hi,

The system I'm using was used for about 2 years as a 24x7 system. Today I
had some real problems with it.

It's an i486 (DX-50) with one 3c905 (ISA) ethernet card.

It worked really good, but today I get many of the following kernel
messages: "eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status ffff."

Is this a `real' hardware problem or is this a software misconfiguration?

Ohh... btw: I changed to kernel 2.0.38 yesterday.

It doesn't seem to happen with 2.0.36. is this `known'??

regards,
  gerhard
