Hi there,

I had the second 'crash' with ctx-15 running a few days ago. The box
didn't exactly crash, it was working fine, except for the network
card. After a reboot everything worked again and I found the following
in /var/log/messages:

Mar 5 10:16:06 adjana kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

The cabelling etc. was all ok, it must have been the machine itself
that caused this error. Does anyone have an idea what could have
happened and how it can be prevented from happening in the future? Any
advice appreciated.
