[BUG] 2.6.30-rc4: Kernel BUG under network load with gianfar

[Michael Guntsche]

Hello list,


I recently tried 2.6.30-rc4 on a routerboard currently running 2.6.29  
(it is running stable with this kernel).

This board is used as a gateway and under load I see the following BUG  
with 2.6.30-rc4.

After that the Board reboots after 180 seconds. To reproduce this  
problem I just have to stream audio or run some benchmarks on http://speedtest.net 
.

Doing the same with 2.6.29 does not inhibit this problem.
