error itself

Kernel Panic occurs (1-2 times per hour) when loaded (about 60-200mbps) with NIC Intel Corporation 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
System hangs and only reset helps.
Tested it on kernel versions: 3.0.4, 3.2.4, 3.2.14, 2.6.38.2.
е1000 driver versions: 8.035, 7.3.21-k8-NAPI.
Tried to compile it with the kernel and tried to load as a module. With and without е100 driver.
Symptoms are always similar.

Not much we can do with that trace - if it's still seen in a modern kernel please re-open however

The bug still exists in kernel 3.7.5. But now I can get it only with both NICs loaded (one with e100 driver, another with e1000). All works fine in Windows XP, so it seems not a hardware problem.

Alexander,
Try testing kernel 4.5 mainline to see if the issue is still their. If it is then please send the output of your kernel oops attached to this bug report.
