Ethernet problems: Errors, lockups.

Hello.

I am running a Pentium/II SMP system on kernel 2.0.33. When the system
load average gets high, I start getting kernel error messages printed to
the syslog. "etho: re-entering interrupt handler" is the message over and
over and over again.

The last time this happened, the system hard froze. The last message
printed to the console there was something to do with "IRQ freeze". I have
replaced the NIC with a brand new Tulip series card, (the old one was a
3COM 3C590x) - however, I am starting to get the same errors again.

Advice please?

Regards,
James Thomason
