I just tested 3.1.5-1-ARCH on a virtual machine and it works, so it is
probably a regression... On the same virtual machine 3.2-rc7 produces
input/output error. The virtual machine is a fresh install of arch linux.
here is the relevant pastebin http://pastebin.com/BwX2DqJC
and attached is the tcpdump
As a am a noob to all this, what should I do next in order to help you?
maybe compile a 3.1 kernel from official sources to make sure no patches
from arch linux interfere?
