Description David Rees 2010-12-16 21:44:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Shortly after bringing up the network interface, it locks up.  Reloading the jme kernel module doesn't seem to help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686

How reproducible:
Every time - sometimes it locks up right away, but it always locks up after some short period of time.

Additional info:

lspci -v output seems to be a bit broken for the device:

08:00.5 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
	!!! Unknown header type 7f
	Kernel modules: jme

The computer is an Asus ET2010AG.

Kernel messages - the interrupt stops responding and then the netdev watchdog chimes in.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Comment 1 David Rees 2010-12-16 23:27:30 UTC
Also tried kernel 2.6.35.10-67.fc14.i686 which has a jme change in it - but no change in behavior.

Tried booting with various boot parameters - pci=noapic or nolapic_timer both seem to "fix" the issue (based on limited testing).

With the card not stuck, I was able to get more information out of lspci on the card.

Comment 2 David Rees 2010-12-17 00:06:20 UTC
Grr, closing bug, it's invalid.

Appears to be invalid as it's triggered when a 3rd party NextWindow Touchscreen driver (nw-fermi) is loaded and used.

Comment 3 David Rees 2010-12-17 00:44:55 UTC
Just a bit more info for the record.

The 3rd party nw-fermi driver isn't completely to blame.  I loaded the usbtouchscreen driver instead and added the NextWindow Touchscreen device id to new_id and ended up with the same results.

pci=noapic seems to be the most reliable way to prevent the issue from happening but at this point the touchscreen seems to be the cause of the issue (and it does not work without the nw-fermi driver).
