[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop
Ubuntu Kernel Team is already working on getting this RTL8102E driver - kernel module r8169.ko - to work. Hence, I'm updating it to In Progress and assigning this bug to the Ubuntu Kernel Team. Test packages are available here for testing (courtesy of Tim Gardner et al.): https://edge.launchpad.net/~timg-tpi/+archive Hein, thank you for your testing, and I'm glad that Ubuntu 8.04 can startup when LAN is disabled. Could you please try out the latest test kernel packages (2.6.24-18-generic), enable LAN in the BIOS, and see if your machine can boot up successfully? With the new kernel, the machine is supposed to boot up normally (without kernel Oops), though RTL8102E LAN might not yet work. In that case, could you please attach your dmesg output here? Many thanks!

Clarification for Hein, obviously you cannot test packages with the live cd, you have to install Ubuntu 8.04 and then install the package above.

[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop
Anthony/Dimitrios, I looked at Tim's launchpad site referenced and added the first deb line and downloaded the packages from the depositories. Questions : 1. Do I also add the second deb line? 2. I now see many kernel packages ( 2.6.24.18 ) under adept. Which ones should I load? Sorry for the question. Just wanted to be sure for the testing.

[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop
Anthony can confirm, but: 1) no, you don't need the deb-src repository, it's the source code 2) you should choose the package linux - 2.6.24-18.32ubuntu6 -- Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225749 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
[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop
Ok, I have tested both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 8.04 with the Ethernet Lan disabled and it worked. Have been able to connect wireless. Just have to wait for update.

[Bug 225749] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop
For everybody bitten by this bug: Could you please go into BIOS setting, try to disable your LAN (Ethernet controller), and see if Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD would boot? There is a bug in r8169.ko module in Linux kernel 2.6.24 which causes a Kernel Oops when it sees new not-yet-unrecognized Ethernet controller. r8169 in 2.6.24 recognizes RTL8101E, but not RTL8102E. That Oops causes some memory corruption or whatnot, and the system fails to boot. Could you please press Shift-PageUp and see if you see a line that looks like this? [ 43.851] [f8889e67] rtl8169_init_one+0xc4/0xe9 [r8169] If so, please let us know here. AFAIK, the official Ubuntu kernel developers are aware of this, and is actively working on a fix, with test kernel package working or almost working. Thanks!

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux which is the kernel for Hardy Heron. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = linux -- Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD exits with modprobe abnormal exit on ICH8M laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225749 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
