I've been seeing the error: Aug 18 21:24:59 titan kernel: eth-gig1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. in the logs when there is heavy network traffic on my Sarge/amd64 system. The error is produced by the kernel module forcedeth for the on-board gigabit ethernet controller. Suggestions I've found through googling indicate using the 'max_interrupt_work' module parameter and setting it to a larger value, rather than the default 5. I've done this, and setting it to 15 results in similar errors: Aug 22 21:32:18 titan kernel: eth-gig1: too many iterations (16) in nv_nic_irq. There's no obvious misbehaviour going on, apart from seeing this message, but I'm concerned. Any thoughts/comments on this? Thanks, Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...
