I never realized it until now... I have a machine at work with both a 3c509 and a 3c905 card on a tyan dual proc pentium board with 2 233mmx procs. Yesterday, it locked up on me solid when untarring a 200mb archive over the network (client was reading the tar file and storing it on the local disk). I didn't think anything about it until now. The file was going over the 3c509 card. I would post any more information that I can, but the machine was in X at the time and nothing was written to syslog.
Does the sysrq work when in X and I receive a lockup? (what are all the keys, point me to a file/url).
The machine above is running 2.2.3 kernel (no extra patches made)
