The current fix is to disable the driver to prevent damage to your

Various developers are still working on finding the actual cause of the
problem, please be patient. You are recommended to use the latest stable

On the same machine I have Ubuntu

Even if it means making myself look like an idiot: May I also suggest
publishing (maybe along with the warnings) hints about how to find out
whether your hardware is / will be / might be affected. And when does
that eeprom writing actually happen - at boot time, when using the lan
interface, or
I had the duplicate bug 272630 and consider myself lucky. I had the
Intel NIC but had used Alpha 5. I only had the dmesg error and not the
hardware eeprom failure. I had Alpha 6 ready to test until I found this
bug thread. For folks like me, it will be a good decision to blacklist
e1000e
The process is working as far as I can see, we have a set of users that
is reporting the problem, which will help keep the kernels with the
issue from being promoted to full production status.
I'm sorry .. will you buy these a new laptop? Ifso, then the proccess is
working.

One alpha tester has already been lost, at least partially. When the
problem occurred I sucked it up and said to myself, you know, it is
alpha. Things like this shouldn't happen, but they do from time to
time. Now that I see the indifference of Ubuntu devs to people losing
their hardware, and
I for one second the motion to remove the alpha images until they have
been prepared so that there is no risk of hardware damage. I would be
seriously concerned about the negative effects of ignoring this issue.
There is a liability on Canonical for the distribution of software which

Thomas, why do you feel that the present warnings are not enough? I for
one feel that they are certainly sufficient warning to people running
those chipsets to not download them. Also, this isn't a democracy; we
don't vote on whether to pull images or not. That's up to the core
Why do i not feel the warnings are enough?
for one, because users who download VIA bittorrent will never see those
warnings, and like somebody above noted, not all testers know for
certain the hardware they are running. Simply saying if your computer
breaks, tough luck, we warned you will not
I think a warning (with Jesse Brandeburg's advice) should go to *every* tester
who is running such a system.
I just read about it on a computer news site and I wish I got this news form
canonical (maybe via update manager)

Not to mention the thousands of people who downloaded these images
before the warning was posted.

I was really shocked to see that it took more than one day between the
Issue becoming apparent and the warning being placed on the website.
This is a very serious issue and can cause severe damage on really
expensive hardware (i.e. most recent Lenovo Thinkpads like the X200,
X301, T400, T500 and
The only place where I can find official download links to the

Please listen to what Jesse said in comment #24. This is a bug report,
not a discussion forum.
Calls for ISOs to be pulled, legal claims, accusations and use of
capslock should be on the ubuntu-devel or ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing
list. For one thing, by posting to those lists your opinion will
If we don't pull the images (we should, but I won't comment since it's
already being discussed), it might be a good idea to at least make the
words permanently inoperable on the Alpha 6 testing page in big, bold
letters so users have less of a chance to skim over that part.
