Software Environment: --------------------- *Using the pcnet32 driver, which is built into the kernel. Gnu C 2.95.3 Gnu make 3.79.1 util-linux 2.11n mount 2.11n module-init-tools 2.4.12 e2fsprogs 1.26 jfsutils 1.0.15 xfsprogs 2.0.0 PPP 2.4.1 isdn4k-utils 3.1pre4 Linux C Library x 1 root root 1394238 Mar 23 2002 /lib/libc.so.6 Dynamic linker (ldd) 2.2.5 Procps 2.0.7 Net-tools 1.60 Kbd 1.06 Sh-utils 2.0 No Modules Loaded ------------------------
Problem Description: While attempting to perform some NFS testing, the error msg, "Bus master arbitration failure, status ffff" is repeatedly printed to the console and eventually the machine hangs up. An 'ifconfig' of the ethernet card shows the number of receive and transmit errors increasing. I installed another ethernet card (netsemi driver) and the message, along with the received/transmitt errors, stopped.
Steps to reproduce: Execute the test scenario defined at http://ltp.sf.net/nfs.
