There is a bad interaction between the 3c59x driver with these cards and RedHat's kudzu (hardware probing utility). There are several open bugs in RedHat's bugzilla about it, but no clear idea about what is going on. I say above "with these cards" because I have not heard Tornado cards (905C) to be affected, only Boomerang and some Cyclones (905B). One easy solution is to disable kudzu at boot and start it manually as root only after making a hardware change then reboot again. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu@IWR.Uni-Heidelberg.De - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
