Thanks. - jags / Sept 26 / 2:22 AM PT (1) at __ http://news.opensuse.org/2008/09/22/serious-e1000e-driver-issue-in-sle-11-be... __ ::: The Intel e1000e driver on openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Beta 1 might have a serious issue with the potential to damage the network card in a way that it cannot be used any longer. Intel and Novell are currently working to analyze and solve the issue. For the time being: Please do NOT USE: openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 or SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Beta 1 on systems with Intel e1000e hardware. ::: and (2) at __ http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2009.0_Errata __ ::: EEPROM corruption on Intel 82566 and 82567 network chipsets (ICH8 and ICH9) A serious bug exists in version 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel (all pre-releases up to and including 2.6.27rc7) which can result in the EEPROM on Intel 82566 and 82567 network chipsets becoming corrupted, rendering the adapter unusable in all operating systems. This issue affects all Mandriva Linux 2009 kernels between from 2.6.27-0.rc5.1mnb to 2.6.27-0.rc6.5.1mnb. It is worked around (by entirely removing the offending e1000e driver) in kernel 2.6.27-0.rc7.1.1mnb. ::: -- 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.
