this is being actively debugged, here is what we have so far: o v2.6.20: crashes during boot, unless noacpi and nousb bootparams used o v2.6.21-rc6: some userspace issue, crashes just after root mount without init=/bin/bash o v2.6.2X: serial console in docking station spews goo at all speeds with console=ttyS0,bbbbn8 . work continues on this, as we don't know if there are kernel panic messages during the hard lock. o fedora 7 test kernel 2948: boots okay, have been using this as only truly working kernel on this machine.
one reproduction of the problem was had with scp -l 5000 <file> <remote> when linked at 100Mb/Full. Tried probably 20 other times same test with no repro, ugh.
Otherwise, slogging through continues. We are actively working on this in case it *is* an e1000 issue. Right now the repro is so unlikely we could hardly tell if we fixed it.
