e1000 fails to load sometimes: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With 2.6.17-rc5-mm2 (and other kernels), the e1000 fails to load sometimes, with the message:

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.0.38-k4-NAPI
Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
e1000: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5


Sometimes it will do this after several modprobe/rmmod cycles, and then it will load OK. Once loaded, it seems to work perfectly.

This is this built-in e1000 in a Thinkpad X60:
