Ethernet driver doesn't support netpoll

[berlincount]

Hi,

while being very happy and satified with the kernel as such, my box always keeps crashing after a few days :(

I tried to debug, but didn't have any luck so far - and I can't get netconsole to work:

modprobe netconsole netconsole="+514@192.168.1.2/eth0,514@192.168.1.3/"
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'netconsole': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[ 1523.641556] netpoll: netconsole: local port 514
[ 1523.644808] netpoll: netconsole: local IPv4 address 192.168.1.2
[ 1523.649412] netpoll: netconsole: interface 'eth0'
[ 1523.652802] netpoll: netconsole: remote port 514
[ 1523.656104] netpoll: netconsole: remote IPv4 address 192.168.1.3
[ 1523.660795] netpoll: netconsole: remote ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[ 1523.666354] netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't support polling, aborting
[ 1523.671648] netconsole: cleaning up

any advice?

thanks again! :)

My box also crashed once.
I'm using the kernel 4.1.36, and run rtorrent for about 2 weeks, suddenly stopped seeding. I could not ssh it, so just reboot.
As systemd doesn't keep the log, I have no log messages, I've enable journald to persist log files, maybe next time there will be some messages to debug, but for now everything is OK.
I'm not a kernel profession, hoping this will help somehow.

thanks!

Does netconsole work on the latest firmware from Western Digital? If it's not working there I doubt any new development will get it working in a newer kernel.
