Sorry about the cross-post, but I wasn't sure which list was most
appropriate.

I got the following message earlier today:
Oct 1 17:27:10 yoda kernel: eth0: Reentering the interrupt handler!
isr=0x1 imr=0x0.

It appears to have come from drivers/net/8390.c in the function

/* The typical workload of the driver:
Handle the ether interface interrupts. */
void ei_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs * regs)

>From a quick look at the ei_interrupt function, this message looks like
the sort of thing that shouldn't happen. I don't know if the fact that it
runs an SMP kernel is at all signifigant. It's running 2.0.31-pre9, and
the ethernet is an SMC Elite16T Ultra. The system seems to be doing
fine...uptime 16 days and still going.
