runts and giants

i have 3548L2 switch connected to 7513 via fast ethernet. I am doing trunking between them. I had a problem earlier that i was gettting CRC and fast ethernet

expereincing errors messages on 3548 but we were able to fix it by changing trunking encapsulation from isl to dot1q. Now the problem is that I am receiving

a lot of runts from router. I have checked my 6509 connected to 7513 on different port fa 5/1/0 and i don't see runts but i do see few giants. My router interface

is clean. I am wondering why whould router generate so many runts. I don't see a whole lot of broadcast or multicast.

This may be due to a duplex mismatch. I see your 7501 is fixed 100 Mbps full-duplex, but your 3548 is auto-speed. I do not understand how it can be auto-speed, but fixed full-duplex as it is reporting, but I suspect that is the origin of he problem. How is each side of this link configured? They should either be both fixed, or both auto. Could you post the show run int from each side of the link please?
