Hi, when I try to boot 2.6.36-rc7-git2 on one of my machines, it crashes while setting up the network. The setup is quite complex, with bonding, lots of vlans and 3 intel adapters (system is quad x86_64) snip of lspci: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 06:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection /proc/interrupts (this is from 2.6.35 though): [root@vbox1 ~]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 0: 110 37 35 40 32 32 21 21 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 IO-APIC-edge i8042 3: 1 1 2 3 2 2 2 2 IO-APIC-edge serial 7: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0 9: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 12: 13 12 13 13 13 13 13 13 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge ata_piix 15: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge ata_piix 16: 682921 685346 693461 694947 676981 675139 701777 701287 IO-APIC-fasteoi aic94xx 17: 5 4 2 3 3 3 4 2 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2 18: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb4 19: 997780 999181 999953 997339 1000298 1000151 1000998 999476 IO-APIC-fasteoi ahci, uhci_hcd:usb3 70: 369494 369442 369429 369546 369246 369180 368920 369440 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 71: 1 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 PCI-MSI-edge ioat-msi 72: 6582932 6581874 6600038 6599808 6610844 6615320 6577533 6575521 PCI-MSI-edge eth1 73: 4640350 4642969 4620265 4618102 4658361 4656713 4621047 4622633 PCI-MSI-edge eth2-rx-0 74: 4825916 4820566 4816223 4819625 4783628 4782868 4829161 4831033 PCI-MSI-edge eth2-tx-0 75: 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth2 NMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 26193128 26202524 23438305 21050728 20675131 21073869 19116842 20390479 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Spurious interrupts PMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Performance monitoring interrupts PND: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Performance pending work RES: 683619 704633 770437 844562 631756 661455 712375 693839 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 3911641 3885148 1508737 1570661 3805584 3932046 1387438 1430719 Function call interrupts TLB: 782332 851609 1030107 976888 745355 866368 874263 964798 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts MCE: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Machine check exceptions MCP: 252 252 252 252 252 252 252 252 Machine check polls ERR: 0 MIS: 0 here's the backtrace: [ 24.893702] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 24.897668] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/net/bond0/broadcast [ 24.897668] CPU 2 [ 24.897668] Modules linked in: bridge stp llc 8021q bonding ipv6 ext4 jbd2 crc32 crc16 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod video backlight output sbs sbshc fan battery ac kvm_intel kvm joydev ppdev +piix pata_acpi ide_pci_generic ide_core tpm_tis tpm tpm_bios ata_piix i5k_amb hwmon pcspkr parport_pc parport i2c_i801 i2c_core ata_generic rng_core usbhid e1000e iTCO_wdt sg container i5000_edac ioatdma +dca edac_core shpchp thermal processor pci_hotplug thermal_sys button aic94xx libsas scsi_transport_sas sd_mod crc_t10dif raid1 ext3 jbd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd ehci_hcd ahci libahci libata scsi_mod [last +unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 24.897668] [ 24.897668] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 2.6.36lb.00_01_PRE07 #1 X7DB8/X7DB8 [ 24.897668] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81343044>] [<ffffffff81343044>] vlan_hwaccel_do_receive+0x74/0xf0 [ 24.897668] RSP: 0018:ffff880001a83c30 EFLAGS: 00010287 [ 24.897668] RAX: 0000000000000002 RBX: ffff88041c7ac790 RCX: ffff88042fdb6000 [ 24.897668] RDX: ffff10041e22c790 RSI: ffff88041b162100 RDI: ffff88041b162100 [ 24.897668] RBP: ffff880001a83c50 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff88041b162100 [ 24.897668] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000bba250000 R12: ffff88041b162100 [ 24.897668] R13: ffff88041c7ac000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88041c7ac6c0 [ 24.897668] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880001a80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 24.897668] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 24.897668] CR2: 00007fd9a60830b0 CR3: 0000000001655000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 24.897668] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 24.897668] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 24.897668] Process kworker/0:1 (pid: 0, threadinfo ffff88042fcda000, task ffff88042fccdcc0) [ 24.897668] Stack: [ 24.897668] ffff880001a83c60 0000000000000001 000000000000000e ffff88041b162100 [ 24.897668] <0> ffff880001a83ca0 ffffffff812b9402 ffff880001a83cb0 ffffffff812b92cf [ 24.897668] <0> 0000000000000000 ffff88041b162100 000000000000000e ffff88041ff8b680 [ 24.897668] Call Trace: [ 24.897668] <IRQ> [ 24.897668] [<ffffffff812b9402>] __netif_receive_skb+0x472/0x530 [ 24.897668] [<ffffffff812b92cf>] ?
