Hi,
I am experiencing mysterious lock-ups on a brand new 4.2 box that I
recently built.  I have very little evidence to go on since *nothing* is
logged-- making me think it's hardware-related.  The system becomes
completely unresponsive from the network as well as the serial
console.  All I have that is somewhat unusual are some console messages
related to the net card.

This system has an FIC AZ-11 board with an AMD Duron 700 and 128 MB of
Kingmax "TinyBGA" SDRAM.  I am not overclocking the chip.  The hard
drive is a Western Digital WD205BA (20.5 GB 7200 RPM ATA-66).  The
network card is a Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 PCI.  I have built a custom
kernel with the following netcard support:

device          miibus          # MII bus support
device          dc              # DEC/Intel 21143 and various workalikes

It shows up in dmesg as:
<ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX>

The console messages that I saw were:

Feb 16 09:13:59 gryphon /kernel: dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX
threshold
Feb 16 09:14:11 gryphon /kernel: dc0: watchdog timeout
Feb 16 09:56:20 gryphon /kernel: dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX
threshold

I have never seen these before so I don't know if they are unusual or
just normal.  Could this be related to a lock-up or do I need to check
elsewhere?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
