4.14.0 final crashed hard after running 17 hours. Not only was the ethernet not-responsive, neither was the console, not even the magic sys-req key. I had to power cycle the machine to get it unhung. Then I booted 4.14.0rc1 and it immediately exploded however I had set a 20 second time out and the machine self booted back into 4.15.0-21 and I turned hardware offloading back off. I can not continue testing this on production machines and the one Intel machine I have with that interface chip is currently broken. I'll work on getting that working and setup a web server on it and use some test software to put a load on it. One thing I found digging in github is that there has been only one commit against the E1000 driver in the last three years and that was on February 13th, so might be worth looking at. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.
