Re: irq x: nobody cared..... and networking dies (e1000:e1000_watchdog_task)

Hey gays,

I have same issue in my Centos box, with kernel 2.6.18-274.18.1.el5. on VMware ver.4.0.0 Build 162856 .

I have this issue  every 2 weeks; I update the VMware tools , but no remediation.

I think, timeout of guest OS to the software interrupt of E1000 NIC driver is the reason of this issue. In next step I am going to change NIC card to VMXnet3.

Any comment appreciated.
