[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1281930] Re: nVidia on board network card with forcedeth driver freezes systems on AM3+ CPU
Marco Aicardi, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3N78VM/#support, an update to your BIOS is available (1801). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: - I have a Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 system with a nVidia Force3 mainboard with - nVidia forcedeth-driver network card running on a Phenom X4 965 - processor. + The network is completely 1000mbps wired and the main server is a HP + Proliant microserver running Ubuntu 13.10 amd64.
