Comment 33 for bug 279186

Hi Jon, Dan & Yusef,

Thru git bisecting on the atom 330 i found commit 67d9b90a1c844bf1c6daaffd2c60561fc8c445f7 to be the issue with x86_64. Can you confirm this on the single core Atom? (you may have to install with alpha-5/6 x86_64 to get an initial bootable kernel...)

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git
cd ubuntu-intrepid/
git checkout Ubuntu-2.6.27-8.17
cp /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic .config
make oldconfig (no's)
make menuconfig
(uncheck "Paravirtualized guest support")
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
(wait about 3-4 hours)
sudo dpkg -i linux-*
sudo reboot

Sadly, even if you confirm this, commit 67d9b90a is a failsafe to keep the kernel from overwriting/breaking some Intel 1Gb network adapters.

Regards,
Robert
