The Eclectic One 2008-12-01T02:49:47 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.kernel/43311 I have recently found this problem on an old socket 7 machine with an SiS900 network card. The lspci output for the card is 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 02) The motherboard is a PC Chips (Hsin Tech) M537DMA33: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/thorfin/motherboards/mb01/motherboard_1.htm Kernel is 2.6.26 from the Lenny RC1 installer. I'm afraid I don't know how to troubleshoot this bug. For example, earlier messages mention setting the card to half-duplex mode - should I try that, and if so how is it done? I don't seem to get as many of these errors as the previous reporter, but enough to notice in the logs.

During my struggles to get the system bootable again I noticed that the current (lenny) installer apparently has similar problems.
