Description of problem:
My Ethernet network hangs as shown in the URL, exactly.
I have a CompaQ R4000 (same as HP zv6000), with a RTL8139 NIC.
To have the network working I must off the acpi and it is a real problem on a notebook. :-)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. not apend "acpi=off" as option at boot.
2. boot

Actual Results:  ethernet network works some seconds, then hangs. (as well as static IP adressing and DHCP)


Expected Results:  network should goes on

please try the latest errata kernel from updates-testing. This has a large acpi
update which may fix this problem.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 07:18:30 UTC

Mass update to all FC4 bugs:

An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream
kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the
previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already.

Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary.

Thanks.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2005-11-10 20:26:37 UTC

2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Rakotomandimby Mihamina 2005-11-14 21:24:33 UTC

It did not fix. Same error messages. I am very confused, I really want to help
but I think it is because of my hardware... not very "Linux compliant"...

Comment 5 John W. Linville 2005-12-02 19:21:39 UTC

Have you tried "acpi=noirq" as an alternative?  That may restore some of your 
ACPI function. 
 
Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can do.  Most often these problems result 
from problems in the BIOS itself.  Have you looked for a BIOS update from your 
manufacturer?

Closed due to lack of response.  Please reopen when the requested information 
becomes available...thanks!
