http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973756 Bug ID: 973756 Summary: Network is not working in OpenSuse Tumbleweed Aarch64 for Gigabyte MP30-AR0 (APM X-Gene 1) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: aarch64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: ronaldjmaas@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- When I start the OpenSuse Tumbleweed Installer, the network adapter was not able to obtain an IP address. The installer was started from UEFI Shell using the command: FS1:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTAA64.EFI Also after successful installation and reboot into XFCE desktop, the network adapter was not working as expected. Based on experience with other Linux distributions, it seems that the xgene_enet ethernet driver does not work properly when compiled as module. This can be fixed by rebuilding the kernel and include the xgene_enet driver in the kernel image. See more detail in another Bug Report I filed on the Debian EFI mailing list https://lists.debian.org/debian-efi/2016/03/msg00020.html Expected to happen ----------------- DHCP server is able to assign an IP address to the network after which I am able to ping another system. What actually happened ---------------------- Network adapter failed to obtain an IP address. No network connection is possible with other systems. Hardware -------- Gigabyte MP30-AR0 motherboard with APM X-Gene 1 processor flashed with TianoCore UEFI Kingston KVR16LE11S8/4HB 16 GB ECC DDR3 DRAM HGST Deskstar NAS 6 TB drive Logitech USB keyboard Software ---- OpenSuse Tumbleweed ISO was downloaded from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumblewee... UBoot has been replaced by TianoCore UEFI using the steps described in: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/gigabyte-mp30-ar0-flashing-uefi/ Notes ----- Both Centos 7.2 and Debian Testing were successfully installed on the system and running stable with full network connectivity (Centos out-of-the-box and Debian after recompiling the kernel) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
