i'm seeing this, too. it occurs *very* often during access of the
card:

Apr 13 11:08:11 kleineronkel kernel: eth0: Too much work at
interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0001.
Apr 13 11:08:44 kleineronkel last message repeated 869 times
Apr 13 11:09:29 kleineronkel last message repeated 59 times
Apr 13 11:10:04 kleineronkel last message repeated 2 times
Apr 13 11:11:43 kleineronkel last message repeated 149 times
Apr 13 11:11:59 kleineronkel last message repeated 4 times
Apr 13 11:13:01 kleineronkel last message repeated 7 times
Apr 13 11:15:01 kleineronkel kernel: eth0: Too much work at
interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0001.
Apr 13 11:16:15 kleineronkel last message repeated 6 times
Apr 13 11:16:15 kleineronkel kernel: eth0: Too much work at
interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0001.
Apr 13 11:18:01 kleineronkel last message repeated 5 times
Apr 13 11:18:06 kleineronkel modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
net-pf-10
Apr 13 11:18:08 kleineronkel sshd[1631]: Accepted password for ROOT
from 127.0.0.1 port 32948
Apr 13 11:18:08 kleineronkel modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
net-pf-10
Apr 13 11:18:09 kleineronkel kernel: eth0: Too much work at
interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0001.

and so on.

it might be important that i'm sharing the IRQ:

kleineronkel:~ # cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0 CPU1
  0: 294470 246477 IO-APIC-edge timer
  1: 4552 5266 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
  2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
  8: 2 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
 12: 29084 29205 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse
 14: 4 4 IO-APIC-edge ide0
 15: 4924 5704 IO-APIC-edge ide1
 16: 1256 1373 IO-APIC-level EMU10K1
 17: 0 0 IO-APIC-level Ensoniq AudioPCI
 19: 76145 76111 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, eth0
NMI: 0 0
LOC: 540865 540843
ERR: 0

and yes, this is an SMP box (dual p3/600) with a bx chipset.

please keep me on cc:, as i have only archive access to LKML.
thanks.
btw, jeff, the old "kernel: eth0: Abnormal interrupt, status
0000000[2,6]" messages have disappeared since 2.4.3 or so.

regards,

jörn
