Bug Description
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.
