I have two machines, one a ASUS smp and the other an NEC
laptop. Both are running 2.1.4 with Bill Hawes reposted
patches. When I leave for the day moth machines are
running. When I return both are hung.

Examination of the /var/log/messages the first day (SMP
machineO yeilded a bunch of

the other machine had the "kernel: eth0: Memory squeeze,
deferring packet" messages. Both machines have SMC
EtherPower 10/100 cards (Dec Tulip).

Any ideas on what is wrong? This is the first time I have
had crashes like this:-(
