I'll second the suggestion for disabling MSI-X and add one: add pcie_aspm=off to your boot-time kernel options. You wouldn't happen to be running a SuperMicro mainboard with onboard Intel 82574L NICs, would you? If so, I'll also suggest installing the kmod-e1000e package from elrepo.org, which includes a workaround for the bad PROM that's involved. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein at madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W
