LAN and USB ports affected with 64bit OS only.

[davidnielson]

Built a new rig to run a 64bit Bodhi Linux install. The new machine has a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev 3.0) mobo, FX4100 proc, Live 64bit Bodhi CD and noticed that I could not get to the internet. Spent a while determining that the network and my ISP were in working order. Rebooted the machine with 12.04 Ubuntu (64bit) live dvd and same thing. Tried several other distros until I found an Xubuntu version that worked. However, after working with it for a while, I found that it was a 32bit version not a 64 bit. So I tested this with several 32bit vs. 64bit. It appears that I cannot get LAN ports or most of the 2.0 ports and none of the 3.0 USB ports with a 64bit install of every distro that I tried (about 7 different distros, including Fedora and OpenSUSE). With a 32bit version, everything works great. All ports are available and the LAN works flawlessly.

All distros recognize all the equipment and controllers the same. The Realtek 8169 driver is used in both 32bit and 64bit kernels. I am stumped as to why 64bit runs differently (and incorrectly) on my 64bit system but the 32bit system works perfectly.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1127501

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

I am unable to do this because I have no LAN and only one USB port available when I run it in 64 bit (using a Live CD). However, if there are commands that I can run and copy the text to a USB drive I think I can figure a way to get them from the computer to the USB drive, then post them on Launchpad via my 32 bit install of Bodhi.

Thanks for any help you can lend me in resolving this issue.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I do not have LAN or USB ports when the 64bit OS is running. Is there a
distro that has the newest (upstream) kernel already included? If not, is
there a way to slipstream a newer kernel into an existing distro like Bodhi
( that has nearly no apps installed )? If so, can you point me to some
documentation to do this?

-Thanks

davidnielson, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
