[Xen-devel] Xen 3.4 & tg3 gigabit ethernet stalls

[René Bühlmann <buehlmann@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Some Weeks ago, i've upgraded my Xen 3.3 installation to a 3.4 Xen. The 
same time, i upgraded Dom0 Kernel to 2.6.31.2 which also made the 
interface to switch from 100Mbit to 1Gbit. Since then, the tg3 interface 
stalls about once a week and i need to reboot Xen. The problem looks 
similar to 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-07/msg00139.html 
but the solution there (adding cpuidle=0 cpufreq=none to kernel param.) 
did not help for me.
Does anyone has a solution or workaround for this or how could i debug 
the problem?
Thanks
René

Here is the dmesg output:
