Ethernet interface problem -- system lockup.

[Simon Matthews]

Firstly, sorry for cluttering your inboxes with an empty email. 

Can anyone comment on the messages that were in our logfiles  (see
below)? I can't find any similar error messages on the web or in
newsgroups.

The machine became unresponsive immediately after this. It would not
respond to either the network, or keyboard.

It is running a RedHat kernel 2.4.20 or similar.
