Ubuntu Kernel Team is already working on getting this RTL8102E driver - kernel module r8169.ko - to work. Hence, I'm updating it to "In Progress" and assigning this bug to the Ubuntu Kernel Team. Test packages are available here for testing (courtesy of Tim Gardner et al.):

Hein, thank you for your testing, and I'm glad that Ubuntu 8.04 can startup when LAN is disabled. Could you please try out the latest test kernel packages (2.6.24-18-generic), enable LAN in the BIOS, and see if your machine can boot up successfully? With the new kernel, the machine is supposed to boot up normally (without kernel Oops), though RTL8102E LAN might not yet work. In that case, could you please attach your dmesg output here? Many thanks!

Anthony
