kernel: eth0: can't fill rx buffer

[/BiN/LaTn]

One of our RHEL boxes fell off the network yesteray. This is second occurence. System does not halt, but nic card has to be reset. Has anyone seen this errror before? System is an IBM x336 2x3.0Ghz with 4G of RAM, Linux 2.1 ES kernel_ver 2.4.9.

Oh.. ok, sorry about that.

I can't answer your question, but you might take a look at google for linux for a start:

Link: eth0: can't fill rx buffer (force 0) (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=lang_en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=%22eth0%3A+can%27t+fill+rx+buffer+%28force+0%29% 22&btnG=Search)

Good luck.

What sort of network card are you using? Intel NIC?

Try an alternate driver if that's possible.

Oh and the username does read a little like BinLaden, just so you know why you might get a few flammatory posts. :)

Cheers,
