Public bug reported:
During installation of Ubuntu 14.04 Server amd64, the installer
correctly configures eth0 (via static IP in my case) and retrieves the
host name and domain name from the DNS server. But it then loses
connection with eth0 sometime shortly afterwards. /var/log/syslog shows
the following:
May 27 21:26:24 kernel: [ 38.244015] tg3 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w failed.
This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor
for a firmware update.
The installation continues and completes, but hangs periodically
whenever the installation process attempts to access the network. After
rebooting the network devices work fine. (Although it does mean that my
pre-seeded post-install scripts fail to install my repository and custom
packages, as that requires network access.)
The hardware in question is a Dell R300 with dual Broadcom Corporation
NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet. Said hardware has been running
Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, and 12.04 flawlessly for years.
