i am using an initramfs kernel, sothe filesystem is readily available in sdram... one interesting thing is that when i use the eval board and actually mount the filesystem in flash as root, it doesn't happen - one theory would be since it's not available as fast in flash, it won't overrun the tx buffers. but when it's in ram, filesystem data is available a lot faster, so it has the potential to overrun maybe?? if i increase the frequency on the eval board 72mhz, it doesn't happen - i can't do this on my custom hardware since i can't get the fmax that high.
what do you guys typically use?
