[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. This problem cannot be reproduced on my now fully-updated FC6 system, so it can be marked as Closed. (this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state) As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen this bug. |
Description of problem: Both the eepro100 and e100 drivers are being loaded to drive my Intel NIC Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 on system with Intel 82559-based 10/100 Ethernet controller 2. Reboot to see that the eepro100 and e100 drivers have been loaded 3. Actual results: 2 drivers loaded; eepro100 is superfluous Expected results: Only the e100 driver should be loaded to drive my NIC Additional info: # grep 100 /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e100 (Don't be misled by the GBit NIC. It is working fine. This problem is new to the 2.6.16 kernel and is specific to my 100MBit controller. In previous kernel versions only the e100 driver was loaded.) # /sbin/lspci -v 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82860 860 (Wombat) Chipset Host Bridge (MCH) (rev 04) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc: Unknown device 2980 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 2.0 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 64 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=32 Memory behind bridge: f0000000-f2ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: e0000000-efffffff 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82860 860 (Wombat) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 32 Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=03, sec-latency=0 I/O behind bridge: 00009000-00009fff Memory behind bridge: f3000000-f4ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 50000000-500fffff 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=04, subordinate=04, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 0000a000-0000afff Memory behind bridge: f5000000-f6ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 50100000-501fffff 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 04) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 04) (prog-if 80 [Master]) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc: Unknown device 2980 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 I/O ports at f000 [size=16] 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc: Unknown device 2980 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 I/O ports at b000 [size=32] 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 04) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc: Unknown device 2980 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 12 I/O ports at 0500 [size=16] 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc: Unknown device 2980 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18 I/O ports at b800 [size=32] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800 GT] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 21 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at f2000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0 02:1f.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82806AA PCI64 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=03, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 00009000-00009fff Memory behind bridge: f3000000-f4ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 50000000-500fffff 03:00.0 PIC: Intel Corporation 82806AA PCI64 Hub Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 20 [IO(X)-APIC]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82806AA PCI64 Hub APIC Flags: fast devsel Memory at f4040000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=4K] 03:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82544EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16 Memory at f4020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at 9000 [size=32] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [e4] PCI-X non-bridge device.
