ethernet effectively hangs machine (2.4.22+acpi)

ethernet effectively hangs machine (2.4.22+acpi)

[Jonathan Gold]

i've been reading through the last month or so of this list, and
trying various searches on google for this issue, but can't find
anything. i imagine it's something fairly basic which i'm not doing,
but i don't know what that might be.

i compiled a 2.4.22 from scratch with the acpi stuff statically linked
into the kernel. i had some problems with usb for awhile, but got that
figured out. now i can boot into the acpi-enable kernel, but the
system essentially hangs when bringing up eth0 (it might timeout
eventually, but i haven't seen it do that yet). i tried manually
bringing up eth0 and assigning it a static ip, which worked, but when
i tried to ping another machine, i froze up again.

can someone possible forward me an earlier discussion of this issue. i
can't be the first.

thank you,

jon

actually, i meant to say that the machine froze up. i was fine, and
would say that i handled the situation okay, given the circumstances
:)

Hi 
if for you, it is simple .
Can you make the same test
withhttp://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.22/patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2

you can use almost the same kernel configuration.
This version are very stable (for me).
If you made some tests with it, let me know! 

thanks

Hi.

PCMCIA does a similar thing for me, unless I use pci=noacpi. Perhaps
you'll find it makes the difference.

Nigel

The latest ACPI patch against 2.4.22 lives here:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.4.22/

If you apply this patch to 2.4.22 and find that the default
configuration hangs, but acpi=ht, acpi=off, noapic, or acpi=off
work, then please let me know.

Note that the -ac patch below and the ACPI patch above are mutually
exclusive (unless you manually merge the conflicts).

thanks,
-Len

There is also a nolapic option, apparently...
