eth0: FIFO buffer overflow

[Owen Lynn]

I'm running Caldera 1.1 base using the 2.0.33 kernel. I have two 905B's in
the thing. I'm using it as an IP masquerading firewall, and it gets a fair
amount of traffic. The interfaces come up fine, and the box routes for a
while,
anywhere from 4 hours to 1 day. Then, I get a series of messages on the
console:

eth0: ..., FIFO buffer overflow (hex number), ...

followed by a complete lockup of the system. The only way to get it out of
that state is to hard reset and/or power cycle.

Does anyone out there have a clue as to what's going on? How do I fix this?
