But I get both messages
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status 2000 (sometimes with tx!=0)
eth0: Missed interrupt, status then 2011 now 2000 Tx 00 Rx 8000
on a 486DX2-66 PCI with a NCR53c810 and a 1GB SCSI Disk.
I have also a Pentium 100 with NCR53c810 (1GB SCSI Disk) with an 3c509
(but I don't know if it's a Rev. B or C). On this machine there are only
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status 2000
messages.
Maybe my 486DX2-66 is too slow for the fast 3c509 ;-)
Bernhard.
