Package: linux-image-2.6-686 Version: 2.6.16+0.2 Severity: important Hi,
I'm obviousely suffering from the problem described at http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg15793.html Some background information: I tried to install several other distributions on this Compaq ML 530 machine (well, I was told to use something else than Debian) and failed (for sure ;-)). I grabbed a random Live-CD (Ubuntu 5.10) laying around on my desk which worked. It was using Kernel 2.6.12. Now I wanted to give Debian a chance and etch installers failed as well, while I was lucky with Sarge RC2 installer. When upgrading kernel-image to linux-image-2.6-686 the old problem was show: The console was floded with kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang messages. An 'lspci -v' shows 05:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82542 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation NC1634 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (1000-SX) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 201 Memory at c6fc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> My guess is that the driver for this card was changed from kernel 2.6.12 to 2.6.13 (which shows the first problem reports when asking Google) and this explains why several other distributions (using higher than 2.6.12 kernels) failed but Sarge and the Live-CD worked.
