| |
I have recently run into a problem with the tulip driver on my laptop.
It loads fine at first, and I can get connected to a network, etc. When I reboot the machine, it hangs when it tries to load the tulip module. This only happens with a warm reboot, not a cold boot. It is quite repeatable. If I power off completely, there is no problem. If I comment the tulip driver out of my startup scripts, there is no problem. If I reboot, it hangs.
This does not happen with the 2.4.5 kernel, only the 2.4.17. These are the only 2 I have tried.
I have found that if I bring down my ethernet interface and unload the tulip module before the warm reboot, the system will not lock when it comes back up, so I have added the neccessary commands to my shutdown scripts. However, it seems to me like a kernel bug that should probably be fixed.
My specific hardware/software config is:
HP Pavillion XH555 laptop with: 1 Ghz Athlon 4 512 MB RAM ESS sound/modem (sound using Maestro3 driver) Accton ethernet (using tulip driver)
Software: Slackware 8.0, kernel 2.4.17 using ACPI, tulip, maestro3, ext3, framebuffer, etc.
If there's any more info that would help, please let me know.
