[realtek] rtl8139_tx_interrupt [8139too] problem in Linux cluster

[Narisara Thongboonchoo]

Dear realtex list user,

I had  troubles w/  4 nodes Linux cluster system when run program w/ MPI and
ssh command. However, I couldn't finnish my job since one of 4 nodes keep random
died. The job was killed since there's no route to that machine.
I'm not sure why it happended but found error messages about
rtl8139_tx_interrupt & rtl8139_interrupt. Is it possible that network communication
cause this problem? If so, could you give me any suggestion?

Regards,
Narisara

My system use Redhat 7.3 and P4 1.6 GHz. 4 Nodes are  Soyo P4VDA motherboard w/
Realtek 8139 LAN onboard & VIA P4X266A chip set, and 512 MB of DDR.
A Master is Soyo P4S Dragon Ultra MB w/ sis 900/7016 LAN on Board & Sis 645 chipset
and 1.5 GB of DDR ram. Network switch is Netgear Fast Ethernet FS 105.
