Public bug reported:
As Dapper, Edgy won't even boot on my Averatec 2460. It has an Intel
Core Duo CPU, Intel 945GM chipset, Intel GMA950 graphics and an RTL8139
onboard NIC. The problem is most likely due to the RTL8139 chip. The
module 8139too has two modes: PIO and MMIO. In MMIO mode that Ubuntu
uses it doesn't work, but when I install Breezy first, then update to
Dapper and re-compile the Dapper kernel as-is, except with PIO mode
enabled for 8139too, it works. I also have to disable loading of sd_hci
in the Dapper kernel to successfully boot. This is pretty severe,
because it prevents Dapper, Edgy from being installed or even run from
the LiveCD at all on some new but not exotic hardware.
