           Summary: Intel ICH9 + any version of amule = total freeze of
                    Debian after several hours
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.23-rc2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: drivers_other at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: v4ahixbmb4 at forgetably.com


Also happened with 2.6.22. Kernel 2.6.21 was not really compatible with ICH9
and G33 anyway.

Distribution: Debian Lenny
Hardware Environment: Seasonic S12 power supply (I tried another one before:
changes nothing) - Asus P5K-VM (motherboard) - 4 GB - Core2Duo - D-Link
DFE-530TX (ethernet card. I do not use the integrated one because it works very
badly at the fsb speed of 400 I now use. I have no problem at this fsb speed:
memtest all night long reports zero error. fsck of all my partitions: zero
problem. Ktorrent for days: zero problem) - SATA Harddrives
Software Environment: KDE 3.5.7 - Amule
Problem Description: Debian totally freezes and I have to reboot several hours
after starting amule. Did not happen with the same exact software and the same
files on the exact same harddrive with my previous motherboard: Asus P5B-VM. I
purged amule, installed other versions, Debian still freezes. The freezes come
8 times faster if I use tcp (edonkey protocol) than if I use only udp (Kademlia
protocol), and also come faster if I have a lot of active downloads than if I
have only a few. I talked with amule developers and we agreed that the problem
does not come from amule.

Steps to reproduce: use an Asus P5K-VM motherboard (or a motherboard with Intel
ICH9 maybe), launch amule, download 20 or more big files, and wait.
