Description Fei Hong 2014-01-20 22:39:07 UTC
Description of problem:
The Intel Ethernet (82579LM) driver (e1000e) crash randomly when enabling the device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OS: Fedora 18
driver:e1000e
driver version: 2.5.4-NAPI
firmware-verison:0.13-3

How reproducible:
Not very often. I can reproduce the crash 2 out of 10 times


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable the network. 
2. Reboot the OS
3. After boot up, type "ifup em1"
4. If the interface is enabled without crash, go to step 2.

Finally it will crash.

Actual results:
Most of the time, the interface was enabled without any problem.


Expected results:
2 out of 10 times it will crash

By the way, my test machine is DELL LATITUDE E6430

Seems another re-incarnation of the old:

Comment 3 Michele Baldessari 2014-01-21 20:38:48 UTC
Fei,

what exact kernel version are you running when you see this?

thanks,
Michele

This is the output of dmesg from the vmcore of kdump

Comment 5 Fei Hong 2014-01-22 22:07:19 UTC
Hi Michele,


I am using kernel 3.6 with minor changes to TCP/IP and USB.

Thanks.
Fei

Comment 6 Michele Baldessari 2014-01-23 08:27:03 UTC
Hi Fei,

apologies, but we can't really chase issues in self-compiled kernels. We're 
already short on people as it is. If you can reproduce it with a current
stock fedora-released kernel, please do file another bug.

Thanks,
Michele
