Bug 438046: r8169 does not work after reboot Product: Fedora Version: 8 Component: kernel Josep <josep.puigdemont@xxxxxxxxx> has asked for fedora_requires_release_note: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438046 ------- Additional Comments from Josep <josep.puigdemont@xxxxxxxxx> Similar problem for Fedora 9 (preview release), which meant Fedora 9 could not be installed from network, and that network wouldn't work after installation from DVD/CDs. I doesn't only happen after reboot, it happens always here. I noticed that at start up, and just after 1 minute uptime, the r8169 driver had registered 17 million interrupts, according to /proc/interrupts: $ grep eth /proc/interrupts 16: 17132211 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 $ uptime 21:02:30 up 1 min, 2 users, load average: 0.97, 0.44, 0.16 The problem is solved after rmmod, and then modprobe the module again. This is an extract of dmesg when doing rmmod and modprobe: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:0b.0 disabled r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 eth0: RTL8110s at 0xf8904f00, 00:11:09:ce:a6:ca, XID 04000000 IRQ 16 Is the interrupt different? What does the extra [A] mean after modprobing the module? I think the severity should be higher (for some people it might block installation of F9), but on the other hand it might not affect too many people. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
