2008-05-19 09:45:11 Anthony Fok description When trying to run CD, it opens up, allows me to choose language and then when I say use CD, it tries to boot and the crash with the following data: udevd-event [1557] : run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit I tried to boot with noapic and then got same error but with [1503] code. Notebook is new Toshiba ( A305-S6837) with Intel Core Duo processor, 4 GB ram, 320 Gb HD, chicony usb 2 webcam, realtek HD audion, Intel 965 express graphics, Intel 4965AGN wireless, Realtek RTL 8102E ethernet, pioneer DVD drive, synaptics pointing, Also tried Kubuntu 8.04 with same result.

It has now been confirmed that it is due to a bug in r8169.c in Linux kernel 2.6.24: a NULL pointer deference and subsequence memory corruption, unable to continue booting, when the driver encounters an unknown MAC version. For example, r8169.c in 2.6.24 recognizes RTL8101E but not RTL8102E. An initial fix which prevents r8169 from crashing is at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/17/298 and has been packaged by Tim Gardner (Ubuntu Kernel Team) et al. for testing. Missing entries for RTL8102 series need to be added though.
