I am using openSUSE 11.3, and will try kernel 2.6.39.1-33.1.
I just tried the 2.6.39.1-33.1 kernel from openSUSE_Tumbleweed repo, the easyport works fine to me on TravelMate 8572 machine.
Cann't reproduce issue.
Hi Joey,
Thanks for the effort already. Maybe it's connected to to bios version of the travelmate. Do you test on an 8572? witch bios version?
I tested this issue on the following enviornment: + Acer TravelMate 8572 + BIOS V1.27 (I downloaded from Acer website) + Acer EasyPort IV easyport Model No. MS2248 + Ethernet: Broadcom BCM57760 Gigabit Ethernet
I upgraded the BIOS before I start to do the bisect work, but, I pretty sure I can reproduce the ethernet problem on BIOS V1.27.
I also sure the VGA port always works on my easyport, so I choice to trace the ethernet port's problem.
If I power of the laptop and then launch it, the external connectors are working. When the kernel is loading (at the height of hd graphics) the external connectors are dead.
I use Mandriva 2010.02 and everything was working (only disri till know). So yes, something has changed in the kernel, but what :)
I thought currently, the key point is I need reproduce it again on my side, then I can start to use git bisect to trace kernel patch.
Do you have any good idea can reproduce it issue?
When I use 1.27 bios, It will not start anymore. And the machine does a lock up. I don't understnad that Manvrida was working and easyport an hd intel graphics. Dit you use 11.3 or 11.4? White 11.4 the easyport isn't working anymore, but I get also other erro's I don't understand. I did a normal blanck installation of 11.4 did updates, no eaysport. Activate Thumbleweed and now get some other issues. May bad notebook??? But how can a old verison (Mandriva) works and even Windows does not have any problems ???? My 8572 is one of the first that was announced by Acer 2 years old +-.
Can I make an iso from my installation and send it to you (if so how ?:) ) I will take my secound easyport replicator at home and to some test.
Let you know it tonight.
Thanks
Hi, I tested it on my second easyport iv ms2248. Same problem. Total dead external connection accept dvi and usb. Plug out and in the ac on the dock did not change any. With kernel 2.6.32.5 it was working ..... help help help :) Downgrade bios from 1.27 to 1.20 and cleared cmos completely. -- 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.
