Hi, [lkml.org still broken --> no accurate mail header info possible...]
Just to ask the obvious: I assume using /sys/bus/pci/rescan does not help once it's broken? (since the machine comes up empty at initial-boot scan, too) Also, you could try diffing lspci -vvxxx -s.... output of working vs. "distorting" kernel version - perhaps some register setup has been changed (e.g. due to power management improvements or some such), which may encourage the card to get a problematic/corrupt state. > Upon powering off the system, > the r8169 driver compained about "rtl_eriar_cond = 1 loop 100" Yup, that seems to be rtl_eri_read() in ethernet/realtek/r8169.c waiting on low condition of RTL_R32(ERIAR) & ERIAR_FLAG; Andreas Mohr -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
