Description faust 2008-05-16 19:59:51 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032619 Firefox/3.0b5

Description of problem:
After updating the kernel from 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 to any kernel 2.6.24, ethO (wired) will not start at boot time. 
Starting it manualy will also not work. This happens with every 2.6.24 kernel.

When i boot with kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 the network works.

I installed also fedora 9 (kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9) and i have here the same problem.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.24.4-64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.login as root
2../network start
3.

Actual Results:
# ./network start
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:

Missing connection to eth0 at boot.

Comment 5 Erik P. Olsen 2008-09-01 13:27:55 UTC
I have exactly the same problem with Linksys router WRT54GL and fedora 8.

Kernel 2.6.23.1-42 is good and kernel 2.6.25.14-69 is bad. I have uploaded the messages which come from the boot process in both the good and bad situation.

Re-attached file because it had gotten wrong mime type.

Probably a duplicate of #394221

Comment 8 Chuck Ebbert 2008-09-13 16:03:35 UTC
Please try 2.6.26.3-14

There were some problems with r8169 in 2.6.25...

Comment 9 Erik P. Olsen 2008-09-13 20:36:45 UTC
Tried 2.6.26.3-14 this morning. Same problem - no connection.

Chuck, I tried with F9, which had 2.6.26 and didn't work either. Now I have
rawhide installed with kernel 2.6.27, and the problem persists.

Notice I could always (from F8 to rawhide) solve the problem by doing:
$ rmmod r8169; modprobe r8169

Comment 11 Erik P. Olsen 2008-09-14 14:24:35 UTC
Very interesting! I can confirm that:

rmmod 8169; modprobe r8169

solves the problem.

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 10:43:23 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 13 Joseph D. Wagner 2008-12-24 02:42:55 UTC
Possible duplicate of  Bug 438046, which is still ongoing.

Comment 14 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 06:31:12 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
