I searched quite a while on how to solve the issue with recent ubuntu versions (e.g. in my case Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) after I have upgraded my processor from an older Athlon II X2 270 to an FX-8320E. The bug was not present before, but as I found in some other posts only materializes with an AM3+ processor.
Here is how to get rid of the bug: enter these two commands in a terminal: echo "options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth_options.conf sudo update-initramfs -u then reboot your machine (that will be the last time it crashes during reboot :). This will tell the kernel to load the module "forcedeth" (the driver for the ethernet part of nvidia’s nForce chipset on my AsRock N68C-FX GS board) with the given options already at boot time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003297 Title: 10de:03ef [ASRock N68-VS3 FX] Networking and ACPI conflicts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
