| |
I'm running a Sun 4/670MP for a news server under SparcLinux 2.2.13. It has, until I tried to turn up a second ethernet interface, been completely stable.
I can ifconfig and send traffic over either interface individually fine. But if I try to ifconfig up both interfaces at once, as soon as I send a ping over eth1, or any other network traffic, the system hangs with a spin_lock and often turns the screen to black or almost black on black making it entirely impossible to read.
The machine has been completely stable with only one interface configed up. This is a 4 CPU system with 384MB of memory and a SCSI/10-base-T combo card. Both the built-in SCSI interface and the one on the combo card have been in use with no stability problems. I can ifconfig eth1 up IF eth0 is down and pass traffic with no problem. It's only when I try to bring them both up at once. And then a ping is all it takes.
Is there something I need to specify in the kernel to make multiple interfaces work?
