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): kernel-2.6+ How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. not apend "acpi=off" as option at boot. 2. boot 3. Actual Results: ethernet network works some seconds, then hangs. (as well as static IP adressing and DHCP) Expected Results: network should goes on Additional info:
please try the latest errata kernel from updates-testing. This has a large acpi update which may fix this problem.
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.
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.
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"...
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!
