Hi,
I've got some serious strangeness being caused by ACPI on 2.6.6.
2.6.3 works perfectly on the same machine. I don't use any acpi option on the kernel command line so it's just using the default options.
The first problem is that a strange device appears as eth0:
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-90-F5-00-00-22-91-25-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
It seems to be some incarnation of the real ethernet adaptor, but even when I manually configure it it is unable to actually talk to the network. I can configure the real ethernet adaptor (8139too) as eth1 with no problems.
Also, for some reason the loopback device is not added to the routing table which in turn causes a stack more problems. Lots of other stuff also doesn't work including X.
But if I boot 2.6.3 or set acpi=off for 2.6.6 everything works perfectly. The same problems exist in 2.6.5 but I haven't tried 2.6.4.
I've attached my dmesg and .config - let me know what else is needed.
Thanks, David.
