[realtek] Problems with a Scyld 2 beowulf

[David Barker]

Hi there - I'm currently having problems with the head node of a scyld bassed 
beowulf - the nic's in the machine are rtl8139 's and I think it's these that 
are the source of my problems. The cluster starts booting perfectly, but 
after one or maybe two nodes come up, the message "eth1: Oversized Ethernet 
frame, status xxxxxxxxxx!" 

I've downloads the latest drivers for the 2.2.17 kernel in the form of an 
src.rpm and installed them as per the instructions at 
http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html but I'm still getting the same 
propblems - does anyone here have any ideas/solutions?
