8139too in 2.4.4 Hanging/Locking

8139too in 2.4.4 Hanging/Locking

[Adam]

Please CC this back, as I'm not yet on the kernel-mailing-list

I'm currently running the following:

kernel 2.4.3
gcc 2.95.3
modutils 2.4.2
dhcpcd v.1.3.19-pl8

The problem is, after compiling the 2.4.4 kernel with the exact
configuration as I had used on the 2.4.3 kernel, my system hangs at:

8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.16 loaded [the version number is
greater than 0.9.15c (which is used in 2.4.3) though I'm not exactly
sure if it's 0.9.16]
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0b.0
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xd0814000, 00:50:ba:d2:45:21,
IRQ 9
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139B'
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
[this is where it hangs, it requires me to reboot and load up a backup
kernel (2.4.3)]

If there is any other information you require to solve this problem, I'd
be happy to help.

	The same thing happens to me. I've tried to start my ethernet, but my
system hangs and, after a forced restart, the BIOS has cleared all my
setup configuration (!).
