RE: [Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk
This is unusual, as the e1000e_nvm -r –d eth0 -o ethtool.dmp command normally dumps out the 1Gb portion of the system flash even if it _does_ have a bad checksum, and then I've been fixing the checksum content. Are you sure that there isn't an ethtool.dmp file created in the local directory from which you ran e1000e_nvm ? If there really is no ethtool.dmp, please send me 1) lspci -tv 2) lspci -xxx 3) dmesg (that includes the failure of the e1000e driver to load) and I'll send you an instrumented driver that will dump out the 1Gb flash content, and we may be able to fix it from there. At least I hope so. As I say, I've fixed a lot of these corruptions, but do not recall seeing this particular failure mode before.

Thanks, I still don't understand how it is that e1000e_recover didn't work for you, but I admit that I have been using it as a tool, and don't understand its inner workings. Let's try another approach to get the invalid NVM content listed, this time by the driver when it reads the data. I attach a patch e1000e-1.0.15.shownvm.patch which can be applied our latest e1000e sourceforge release. To install the driver, and collect that result , please proceeed as follows 1) Copy this patch to a local directory 2) Download e1000e-1.0.15.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/ 3) Untar the tarball to a local directory, tar xvzf e1000e-1.0.15.tar.gz 4) cd e1000e-1.0.15/src 5) Apply the patch patch -p2 ../../e1000e-1.0.15.shownvm.patch 6) Remove the old driver, build install the new one rmmod e1000e make insmod e1000e.ko 7) The system message log should have the NVM content that was read. The driver should also load even in the presence of the errored NVM. Please let me know whether it does load and work, and .send me the dmesg log that includes the NVM dump, and I will see if I can fix it up and return it to you with instructions on how to apply the fixed-up version, Thanks Dave From: boun...@canonical.com [boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of bonsiware [bonsiw...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 10:28 AM To: Graham, David Subject: [Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk lspci -tv: +-19.0 Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection lspci -xxx: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) 00: 86 80 4b 10 03 01 10 00 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 10: 00 00 40 fe 00 40 42 fe 21 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 86 80 00 00 30: 00 00 00 00 c8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 00 00 dmesg: [1.652371] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.0.2-k2 [1.652374] e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.

And because, after they learned about the problem, they failed to communicate effectively and never removed the cd-image. This has never happened before, and obviously there was no policy for this situation. Which automatically means that some developpers turn into 'its your fault'-mode and be less supportive of the community members who have bricked their hardware. It turned into a blame game. There were more it's an alpha .. you knew what you were getting it to expressions than any compassion. Worse, appearantly its easier to type it's an alpha .. off course it's going to break your hardware .. and you test on your own risk .. 10 times .. than to put a warning up. At least: it was said at least 10 times before the warning was up. That speaks volumes about priority. And the image is still available and linked to from many places that do not contain the warning. The mistake was just an oopsie .. the aftermath, how it was being dealt with, (and still is) .. a PR horror. 2008/10/2 Lorenzo Zolfanelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 7:46 PM, vjohn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, the Intel haven't opened the code of your hardware?

What make's an alpha or beta tester's hardware less valuable than the hardware the final release is installed on? In many cases it is the same hardware. While I agree many install alpha or beta releases when they shouldn't, a large number of people are actually working to do testing, and their complaints are valid. If I or anybody sounds like they are whining wailing it is because their hardware is valuable, and they are doing a service to you and everybody else.

So can we expect an Ubuntu Alpha 7 with this Intel provide eeprom protection patch and the removal of the e1000 blacklisting? This will allow me to continue testing Intrepid on a machine with e1000 (and it needs at least Alpha 6 anyway because it has GMA 45000 graphics).

What I see from outside is that the burocratic need to release images only at established dates is preventing a well known practice - release a fixed iso in a hurry - to happen. This is not bureaucratic. A working milestone image can't be produced at random, it takes approximately a week to prepare and validate a set of images and we can only muster one of these once every two weeks (at best). Doing a new alpha release right would have meant deferring the beta; doing it wrong is no better than just deleting the images, since there's no guarantee they'll work. This does not mean that the Ubuntu developers don't care about the integrity of testers' hardware (and I would appreciate it if the various apologists, who are not Ubuntu developers, would stop claiming that users should expect the possibility of hardware damage). However, the alpha milestones are targeted at testers who are part of the development community, they're not intended for general consumption - people using these images should be subscribed to ubuntu-devel-announce, where notice of the problem has been posted, so making the alpha images unavailable for download is really not warranted and would only hinder getting necessary feedback from users who don't have the affected hardware. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

@JavaJake What more can they do? Well, they could: a) Pull the images immediately, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. b) Put the warning on planet-ubuntu, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. c) Put out a security bulletin, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. d) Shout it at on IRC, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. e) Upload a blacklist-fix immediately, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. YES THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN. But like with a security flaw; it's all about HOW FAST and IF YOU CARE they respond.

I'm sorry to say that but I think this will be the last time I'll run Ubuntu Alpha on my machine. I'm willing to help, but I have to be 100% sure that Ubuntu developers have very CLEAR policy on what will be pushed in the repositories for testing. Such a policy can do nothing to address bugs like this one that are unknown at the time the upload is pushed to the repositories. We're not about to make empty promises that no Ubuntu alpha can ever damage your hardware - the best we can do is to ensure that if we become aware of such a problem, we publicize this by the same channels we used to solicit testing to begin with. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
