Hi Philippe, We were able to build the cross ksymoops utility and converted couple of Oops capture to analyze the dump. All the crashes were pointing to skbuff issues. When packets are received, the __kfree_skb function is crashing at some point and when packets are transmitted the skb_drop_fraglist is crashing at some point. Please find attached the oops decoded dumps. We would like to know are there any patches that need to be applied for 2.4.26 for it to handle fragmented packets when load is heavy ? We use flood ping test on linux to get the crashes. Thanks for your info.

Very helpful for debugging.
