I tried to compile the version in the link, but got a few errors. The first one complained about line 198 - it looks like it can't find the definition of "pci_ers_result_t". Probably dependancy problems? From the linked page it seems that it is targeted for kernel 2.6.18-rc7, while I am at 2.6.15.1.
If there is a quick-fix I will try to compile it, but I don't have time at the moment to upgrade to 2.6.18-rc7. I will also try other suggested tests, if it is not too time consuming. Since this problem does not seem to be a critical error, for now I will ignore it until it becomes one! :) Thanks Thinus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 September 2006 15:17 To: Thinus Viljoen Cc: M.

Does it also apply on the rt-driver? Anyway, can we say this is basically a vanilla problem? The usual reply of the kernel folks on such reports is: "Have you already tried latest shiny git?". This would likely be http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git;a=tree;h=51578697d4994715151e6484f27793c2d5ee7262;hb=95064a75ebf8744e1ff595e8cd7ff9b6c851523e;f=drivers/net/e1000 (netdev-git) We may also move the generic part of this thread to LKML or netdev if we can exclude that this issue was already fixed elsewhere. There we may at least gain some numbers on that magic startup delay...
