(Get the code!)
I own an X61s, with an Intel Graphics Card and the following Network device.
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
I used the e1000e module sind alpha5 and with all new kernels till yesterday. I did not get in any problem with this driver - lucky me.
I booted another OS from Redmond and it still worked. So I can be lucky, i think. I did save the eeprom stuff with the ethtool mentioned above - just in case.
Do we exactly know what hardware is "affected"? Or what circumstances lead to this insult?
Just out of the blue:
Did someone use the "onboard" sd card reader? - This is the only component I did not use the last month on my X61s. In my Understanding it could be caused by nearly everything making ungood stuff in the kernel (open pointers, etc. etc.)
Someone mentioned a garbled display. I did have this yesterday after booting ubuntu when I visited the Redmond OS before.
Any Hints, what I could test (without damaging my hardware?) - or is my hardware not affected at all?
Thx
Peter
