According to Intel, this issue should be fixed via a BIOS upgrade, they do not like the usually patch to probe the NVM checksum twice.
did Intel give any details about which bios version should be used, or where it's available ? I read similar hints on an opensolaris mailing list (opensolaris shows this error at _every_ driver load -- no chance to use the e1000 at all when I tried in spring:-( and updated the T60 bios early in 2008 to BIOS Information Vendor: LENOVO Version: 79ETE0WW (2.20 ) Release Date: 12/07/2007 which did not help. in the mean time version 2.21 is available but the RELNOTES don't mention any ethernet changes. any pointers what/where to update are _much_ appreciated! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
