Hello- We seem to be experiencing some problems using the e1000 driver with a kexec fast reboot. The problem is that when we are rebooting, as soon as the driver starts initializing the kernel panics. In the stock kernel, this happens as soon as e1000_configure_rx() is called. This problem also happens with the 6.0.60 version as well. Initial thoughts are something to do with the DMA settings still being in the card, but are of course invalid once the new kernel has taken control. So, once e1000_configure_rx() is called, the card tries to receive a packet, but the driver hasn't called e1000_alloc_rx_buffers(), so it is writing to invalid memory. Thoughts?
