Hi all!

Enjoying the -ac2 kernel except for one minor thing: it locks up.

Problem occurs whenever large amounts of data are transferred across the network. This includes web pages, iso cd images, and compressed files.

I can transfer large amounts of data from the internet and to the internet however.

It is a hardlock, I cannot even get the SysRq key to help me out.

System specs:

P-III 550
256MB RAM (1 DIMM)
Abit SH6 (i815 based) Motherboard
Using onboard Video/Audio
Kernel 2.4.5-ac2
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2rev3
Realtek 8139B (see attached dmesg.output file) 10BaseT Network with 128K Satellite link to outside world

Tried protocols:
Samba
FTP
HTTP
NFS

If you need any more info let me know.

Thanks!

Yep.

Upgrade to a newer -ac and the lockups should stop

As I see below you have a Realtek 8139B...
The 8139too driver in 2.4.3-something to 2.4.5-ac2 is broken. It will hang your machine. so upgrade to 2.4.5-ac3 or above (2.4.5-ac9 is the latest right now)
