[BUG] Lockup on boot when trying to bring up r8169 NIC

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

 



Hi,

I already sent this two days ago, but I have the feeling it was
overlooked or filtered because of a large attachment.


If I try to boot 2.6.21.6, 2.6.22.1 or 2.6.22-git8 the system completely
hangs when init tries to bring up my r8169-based NIC. Not even the
keyboard lights are working anymore.

If I unplug the network cable, boot continues just fine and everything
works as it should.
If I boot with the cable unplugged, the system also hangs and continues
after I plug in the cable.


Everything works fine with 2.6.20.15.


Configuration:
  http://www.mathtm.de/config_2.6.20.15_fc6based
  http://www.mathtm.de/config_2.6.21.6_f7based


Using a Fedora kernel (based on 2.6.21.5) I get the following kernel
message:

I know, not everyone is a fan of bugzilla, but maybe someone wants to
