Very sorry hit enter by mistake... Description of problem: My gigabit ethernet card used to work with kernel before 2.6.24, now it doesn't Additional info: lspci -v: 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 11f5 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 I/O ports at c800 [size=256] Memory at dcfff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Expansion ROM at dcfe0000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data <?> Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information <?> Kernel driver in use: r8169 relevant dmesg: ... eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc2000001e000, 00:18:f3:32:78:91, XID 38000000 IRQ 11 ... r8169: eth0: link up Which is exactly identical to what it said in 2.6.23...
Can you post the latest kernel version you have tried? Also please send output from ifconfig, ethtool. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug with the latest kernel version, please read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests and add a more precise description to this bug.
Created attachment 296365 [details] ethtool output Please forgive me for the lack of detail in initial report, I had no time to deeply test anything. - Latest kernel I've tried is 2.6.24-2.fc9 (from the livecd) both 32 and 64 bits attached ethtool
I suppose, you are using DHCP right? Please try to assign a fixed IP address for adapter and try it again. Also try to use the latest kernel, as rawhide is a moving target and it can be broken in some older versions :-). I have similar network card in my ntb and it works correctly with the last kernels.
Yes, I was using DHCP. I've also tried static IP, but the results are the same (except tha pinging the router makes its led to blink, but still "Destination host Unreachable") Latest fedora kernel does not boot, sorry I cannot try it... Anyway, A friend of mine which has my same notebook (Asus A6T) and uses Gentoo told me that he is having the same problem, from 2.6.24 to whatever is the latest version of vanilla-sources (2.6.25.?)... If it's really the same problem, then it's not fedora specific, should I file a bug at kernel.org?
Oh I nearly forgot. Is there anything interesting in /var/log/messages? I noticed also some similar bugreport on debian list with the same notebook type. Please also try to boot with acpi=off if that works, narrowing down by trying pci=noacpi instead. You should also try it with the latest kernel, it should make them bootable for you again.
Argh, I remember there are many errors regarding many different, and I hope unrelated problems, including at least the following (quoting from memory, I'll send precise output ASAP, away from home now...) -various kinds of ACPI errors, both with acpi=off and pci=noacpi -various other APIC errors: I have to use "noapic" to get anything below 2.6.23 to boot (known problem for this laptop... :( ), 2.6.24 on the other hand, boots even without this... hmmm... -something being not E820-reserved -tons of repeated lines of complaints about ata1, which I will do you the favour of removing, because they make the rest unreadable In spite of all the above, my machine worked *just fine* until now...
I can confirm that the kernel upgrade had the same effect on my system; works correctly under the prior kernel, the latest upgrade broke it. Let me know what additional steps you'd like me to take; DHCP is broken, haven't attempted a static assignment yet but can.
WORKS, at least for me, F9-Beta, 2.6.25-0.121.rc5.git4.fc9 (why don't you use simpler version numbers? ;-)
Great, I'm closing it with rawhide resolution.
