1 box has been running fine for a couple months as a news server, with a 3com 3c509 (2.1-stable from about Feb). Swapped the 509 for the SMC etherpower, and updated the src to 4/10/96 -stable, and the box locks up after a few seconds of use. Seems to be related to the ethernet card, as it works fine if I put the 3com back. It also works fine if I boot the old 2.1-RELEASE generic kernel. It doesn't work with a current -stable generic or custom kernel. Symptoms are always the same. It boots fine, runs a few minutes, and after just a bit of network I/O, it fails. Tried a different etherpower 10/100 card, and same thing. Box is a P5-120, award BIOS, PNP on, a 946C, crappy VGA, and the SMC card are all that's in it. Any tips appreciated.
