can you try the latest kernel from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6 it has a critical b44 bugfix that should fix this. Yes, the latest kernel (smp-2.6.6-1.391.i686) fixes the problem, thanks. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I have installed Fedora core 2 on a Dell Inspiron 9100 portable which has a Broadcom 440x 10/100 network card (and a Dell truemobile 1300 WLAN that I don't use). The network works fine if I boot Linux directly, but when I dual boot to Windows XP first and then reboot the machine to run Linux, the network will fail (no ping), and when I shutdown I get the shutdown message- "b44: eth0: BUG! Timeout waiting for bit 80000000 of register 428 to clear". If I fully power down the machine when closing Windows the problem goes away- it is only when I restart without a complete powerdown that the problem occurs (it seems that Windows XP leaves the network hardware in some inconsistent state). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.358 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Windows XP on Inspiron 9100 2.Shutdown Windows and restart computer (don't power down). 3.Boot Fedora core 2 (single or mp kernel) Actual Results: Network doesn't work- can't ping local machines. Expected Results: Network should work. Additional info:
