I just yum upgraded to the latest kernel (2.6.12-1.1447_FC4) and tried to boot one of my boxes into SMP mode and got the familiar eth0 SIOCSIFFLAGS timer expired error during boot up. That's been going on for quite a few kernel releases and I've been booting into the uniprocessor kernels to avoid the error. The interface comes up fine in non SMP. A while back I looked this error up on bugzilla and as I recollect it was a known problem that was going to get corrected in some future kernel. I just checked bugzilla again, and I can't find this error, but I've still got the problem. Anyone know what causes it and how I can boot the box into SMP successfully as far as eth0 is concerned? This particular box is an older P-III with 2 866MHz chips and a gig of RAM. -- Bill Gradwohl (817) 224-9400
