The driver's timer-based monitoring has detected that the interrupt line isn't working. So it switches to "emergency mode", where the time is used to process a few packets. This mode is only intended for fixing the problem over a network connection, not continued operation. Is there any other device on IRQ5? Blocked interrupt lines with SMP kernels used to a problem with the 2.2 kernels, but was supposedly fixed long ago. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
