hardware: e1000 NIC in ThinkPad T42 kernel: 2.6.16-rc5-mm3 I always get $subject message. I changed the delay in net/core/netpoll.c from 4 seconds to 9 seconds, but it doesn't matter, the e1000 always finds Link is Up immediately after $subject message.
I suppose this is a consequence of e1000 using a workqueue for some of its init code. Maybe it would work better on an MP machine instead of UP (giving e1000 a CPU to init on?). I guess I'll have to switch from netconsole built-in to use a loadable module instead. That could work for some non-kernel-init debugging, but this really needs to work for kernel init-time debugging as well IMO. --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
