I found a regression in 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 (since -rc3-mm1) in e1000e driver.
napi_disable(&adapter->napi) in e1000_probe freezes the kernel on boot.
Yes, the semantics changed slightly in the net-2.6.24 tree the
other week and someone needs to fix it up.
The netif_napi_add() implicitly does a napi_disable() call. Device
open must explicitly napi_enable() and device close must explicitly
napi_disable(), and if done elsewhere these calls must be strictly
balanced.
I'll fix it... it's my patch that adds the new napi code to it and I need to get
it ready for the merge window anyway.
thanks for testing.
