I experienced two network lockups with 2.0.31-pre-9 on my Alpha. We have
a very busy network here, and I suspect this happening when I have samba
running (because most network packets here relate to the smb protocol, and
samba is then processing a lot of packets). When I don't run samba, the
machine stays up much longer (now up for 13 hours).
The symptoms are that I cannot receive or send packets, or both, on any
interface (that means the lo, tunl0, eth0 and eth1 interfaces), while the
rest of the kernel still functions fine, and I can continue working, as
long as it isn't network related. The kernel logs mention nothing.
I am running a kernel with aliasing, tunneling and masquerading enabled.
Below you will find the dmesg output after boot, and the contents of the
.config file. Hardware is a 166MHz Alpha on an AXPpci33 motherboard with
two 3c509B's for the ethernet link.
