| |
Hi,
I have a new notebook, a Thinkpad T60, which is freezing in random intervals (like 30 minutes to two days) as long as I am using the on-board wired ethernet interface, which is an e1000e, [8086:109a]. As long as I keep using the WLAN, the system runs for weeks despite frequent suspend/resume cycles etc. The crashes seem really to be tied to using the wired ethernet. This is a hard freeze, with nothing happening on the system, only a long push on the power button helps.
Additionally, sometimes, probably after suspend/resume, the wired ethernet does not come up properly again, ip addr claims "NO CARRIER" even if the LEDs on the interface and on the switch claim that there was a link. No packets are received by the interface when it's at this stage.
Both issues appear with 2.6.34 and 2.6.34.1. I didn't try any of these issues with an older kernel, 2.6.34 was already out when I started using the T60.
To rule out defective hardware, I have tried with a second T60, with the same results.
Full dmesg and lspci-nn attached, please say if you need more.
Greetings Marc
P.S.: Please Cc: me on replies, both linux-kernel and netdev are too big for me to timely follow. I am subscribed to both lists, but a Cc helps in getting a faster reply.
