Hello, I've just booted my laptop and found that networking was broken. Pings of other devices on my home network failed. A reboot has restored networking, but I thought I should report the problem anyway. I'll have no time tomorrow, but on Thursday I'll do a few boots to ascertain how repeatable the problem is. Attached is a complete dmesg, but perhaps the most relevant part is: [ 65.181557] irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [ 65.181566] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.11.0-rc6+ #124 [ 65.181568] Hardware name: FUJITSU LIFEBOOK AH531/FJNBB0F, BIOS 1.30 05/28/2012 [ 65.181571] 00000011 c141bb51 f3154840 c108d581 c14e071c 00000011 f3003950 00006650 [ 65.181581] f3154840 00000011 c108d8f0 1e35395f 00000011 c135453b 00000000 00000000 [ 65.181588] 00000000 00000011 00000000 c108bb0b 0e0e192a 75c91d86 a880c0ad de2115ee [ 65.181597] Call Trace: [ 65.181608] [] ? dump_stack+0x48/0x76 [ 65.181614] [] ? __report_bad_irq+0x21/0xc0 [ 65.181619] [] ? note_interrupt+0xf0/0x1a0 [ 65.181624] [] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x3b/0xc0 [ 65.181632] [] ? handle_irq_event_percpu+0x9b/0x120 [ 65.181641] [] ? __io_apic_modify_irq+0x39/0x40 [ 65.181646] [] ? handle_irq_event+0x29/0x40 [ 65.181650] [] ? unmask_irq+0x20/0x20 [ 65.181654] [] ? handle_fasteoi_irq+0x46/0xd0 [ 65.181656] [] ? do_IRQ+0x31/0xa0 [ 65.181667] [] ? common_interrupt+0x2c/0x31 [ 65.181673] [] ? kmsg_dump_rewind_nolock+0x2b/0x40 [ 65.181678] [] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x3b/0xc0 [ 65.181682] [] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0x7b/0x110 [ 65.181688] [] ? arch_cpu_idle+0x5/0x20 [ 65.181692] [] ? cpu_startup_entry+0xae/0xf0 [ 65.181697] [] ? start_kernel+0x2a8/0x2ad [ 65.181702] [] ? repair_env_string+0x4d/0x4d [ 65.181704] handlers: [ 65.181715] [] rtl8169_interrupt [r8169] [ 65.181717] Disabling IRQ #17 Let me know if I can provide any additional information, although to be honest, the boot completed and the KDE desktop started up OK, so there may not be much else I can provide unless I find that the problem is repeatable.
