"sio12: 178 more interrupt-level buffer overflows" on 6.1-PRERELEASE

[Holger Kipp]

Hello,

I have some problems with a Titan PCI-800H
serial card. Due to many interrupt-level
buffer overflows I can not use this card
to establish TCP-connections via modem
(initial telnet handshake did work whilst
the card shared its irq with the adaptec-
controller - the card should have its own
irq now after I put it in a different PCI-
slot)..

This looks like PR 51982

Feb 27 21:03:17 dialout kernel: sio12: 24 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 433)
Feb 27 21:03:56 dialout kernel: sio12: 178 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 611)
Feb 27 21:04:13 dialout kernel: sio12: 71 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 682)
Feb 27 21:05:56 dialout kernel: sio12: 172 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 854)
Feb 27 21:06:06 dialout kernel: sio12: 79 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 933)
Feb 27 21:06:07 dialout kernel: sio12: 4 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 937)
Feb 27 21:07:56 dialout kernel: sio12: 23 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 960)
Feb 27 21:08:06 dialout kernel: sio12: 26 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 986)

Interestingly, this only happens with the PCI-800H,
but the system also has an older 8-port ISA-Card that 
works without any problems. And yes, the system is 
an old and slow PIII with 500 MHz only, but I have 
this problem even if only one modem is in use (sio12). 

I also don't know why the card can't use fast mode,
unless this is because it looks like 2 cards with 4
ports that share an irq. 

All help/ideas really appreciated!

Regards,
Holger Kipp
