watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex

[Chad]

Hi there,

I have a vps node (virtuozzo) that locked up twice. First reboot went into fsck mode successfully completed anyway.

/var/log/messages shows this:

Oct 7 03:30:03 server kernel: Fatal resource shortage: numiptent, UB 108.
Oct 7 05:40:03 server last message repeated 2 times

It appears the main problem is:

Oct 7 18:46:56 server kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex

Kernel: 2.6.9-023stab044.11-enterprise #1 SMP
O/S: CentOS release 4.3 (Final)

What is the resolution to this?
