Comment 177 for bug 263059

I booted the old and new kernels today. The old kernel would hang 3 times out of 3 when my wired cable wasn't plugged, and didn't hang 3 times out of 3 when it was plugged (probably a timing issue with e1000e when the cable is plugged).

The new kernel booted successfully 6 times out of 6 (half of these tries with network cable plugged).

I only tried the testcase with the new kernel, and it passes just fine at least 150 times (however I tried triggerring the bug with parallel loading in the past myself, with snd-hda-intel, and didn't succeed in getting the hang).
