r8169 does not work if I boot Karmic, only works if I boot Windows, reboot and boot Karmic

[Alexander 'gil' Tarasov]

Hi.

If I boot Ubuntu Karmic (latest development branch, updated from 9.04 via "update-manager -d") from "cold state" - my integrated network adapter (RTL8169sb/8110sb) does not work.
If I reboot, and boot Karmic again - it doesn't work again.
If I boot Windows XP, reboot, and boot Karmic - it works fine.

I tried:
1) "sudo rmmod r8169" and "sudo modprobe r8169" - this does not help;
2) "sudo service udev restart" - this doestn't help too.
3) load kernel with "acpi=off noacpi" - this doesn't help.

I have a network card that uses the r8169 kernel driver, lspci attached. Sometimes at boot the network card is not detected, it is completely missing from the lspci listing, and no eth0 interface is created. There is no sign in dmesg of the network card, when this bug happens.

Pelládi Gábor, you have another bug.

Hi Alexander,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 455953

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Now I downloading daily build of Lucid Lynx, and test it in about 3-5 hours (daily build and mainline kernels).

[Alexander 'gil' Tarasov (alexander.gil.tarasov)]

Hi,

I update my karmic to latest Lucid (via update-manager -d).
Same story.

(1) If I boot from "cold state" - my network card doesn't work (log files: dmesg-2.6.32.20-doesnt-work.log, lspci_vvnn-2.6.32.20-doesnt-work.log, uname_a-2.6.32.20-doesnt-work.log).
(2) If I boot Windows, reboot, and boot Lucid - network card works (log files: dmesg-2.6.32.20-work.log, lspci_vvnn-2.6.32.20-work.log, uname_a-2.6.32.20-work.log).

I update kernel (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2010-04-09-lucid/) - same stroy.
(3) If I boot from "cold state" - my network card doesn't work (log files: dmesg-2.6.34.999-doesnt-work.log, lspci_vvnn-2.6.34.999-doesnt-work.log, uname_a-2.6.34.999-doesnt-work.log).
(4) If I boot Windows, reboot, and boot Lucid - network card works (log files: dmesg-2.6.34.999-work.log, lspci_vvnn-2.6.34.999-work.log, uname_a-2.6.34.999-work.log).

Logs in attachments.

I can run apport-collect only when connected to network, here is apport-collect for kernel 2.6.34.999 with working network card.
