Re: PROBLEM: 2.2.18 oops leaves umount hung in disk sleep

OK, some new information. Apparently, the ethernet traffic is getting
corrupted by heavy disk access to the second disk on my primary ALI
5229 controller. I suspect this is related to the oops, as the kernel
log messages reporting the errors tend to come roughly at the same
time as the oopses.

Here is the test: I run netpipe-tcp to the host while running bonnie
on the second disk. I then receive quite a few messages reading:
Mar 28 17:55:33 intech9 kernel: eth0: bogus packet: status=0x80 nxpg=0x6e size=1518
Mar 28 17:56:25 intech9 kernel: eth0: bogus packet: status=0x80 nxpg=0x69 size=1518

The size is always 1518. There are also other less frequent messages
which I can collate if needed. Running thee same test with bonnie on
the first disk does not produce the error. Turning dma off on both
disks does not help.

Here is my disk information:
