[terraxel]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

ubuntu 7.10

kernel I used: 2.6.22-14-generic i686
fglrx - is stock from ubuntu 7.10

upgraded the kernel package.
after the reboot and login the system wasn't getting ip address from dhcp for about a min, i decided to run ifconfig and got the oops.

The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release will be coming out soon. It will have an updated version of the kernel. It would be great if you could test with this new release and verify if this issue still exists. I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is available. Thanks!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]
