Over the weekend I updated the kernel to 2.6.7.1-494.2.2. and I received the same issues, but it got worse. The system because very sluggish, freezing. I rebooted back into the FC2 stock kernel and everything worked fine again. I can include the boot.log and messages files if needed. Doug Maurer Created attachment 102971 [details]
System information
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I forgot to include my comment with the attachment, here goes the comment text: I'm experiencing the exact same problem using the non-SMP version of the Linux kernel. Issuing uname -rmpio gives: 2.6.8-1.521 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The error messages showed in the dmesg output are nearly identical to mine. I'm not including the whole output as of what I guess that won't be neccessary. By disabling ACPI at boot time, using the acpi=off kernel parameter, I'm able to get fully functioning network. Except ACPI, which is pretty annoying as it's a laptop computer. I feel this bug is really urgent to fix as there are many people who use the via_rhine network driver. And further on, isn't this an issue for the kernel developers rather than the Fedora Core team? The hardware I'm running this on is a hp Omnibook xe4100 notebook. I've attached a file containing outputs of various files in the proc filesystem to avoid confusion. This information has been gathered when using the 'acpi=off' switch, which means there are no error indications. I will try to provide more information, e.g. a full dmesg output when not using the acpi=off parameter, as soon as possible. any improvement with the 2.6.9 based update ? running fc3 now.. didn't test it before until now.. looks like its running ok. I was able to pull an ip from my dhcp router with it. oops disregard my last post.. wrong machine.. (thats what i get for having more than 1).. I'll have to get back to you next week. The machine that had the problem is in another state. and i'll be there monday. Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
