David Batson Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Just a heads up. It seems the e1000e driver in 2.6.27-rc can corrupt the eeprom of these cards,killing the hardware. I guess this should be followed up here, so that we don't release 2009.0 with this bug. https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Adam has blogged about it here. The issue potentially affects all current Mandriva Linux 2009 pre-releases (earlier pre-releases came with a 2.6.26 kernel, but if you installed one and updated regularly, you would be automatically updated to a 2.6.27 kernel). It will not affect Mandriva Linux 2009 RC2, which will be released soon with a kernel that works around the issue. RC2 is/was scheduled to be released today.
