Attachment: | linux-2.6.33.2-e1000e_fix_segfault-1.patch added |
---|
Fixes a issue in the e1000e network card driver that causes a kernel panic. Required for people that use that network card, like our own Bruce Dubbs.

Since kernels are released pretty frequently, I think we should just hold off putting this version of the kernel in the book. I'd expect a new version to be released within a week.

Now Linux-2.6.33.3 with the e1000e fix applied. Announcement at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1004.3/00397.html.

Version update.
The patch is in drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c of 2.6.33.4 also.
However, I keep getting a segfault on boot. I don't think it is related to the network driver because I get the segfault with no network cards configured.
Used: make defconfig; make; make modules_install
Still researching.

Segfault fixed by ensuring CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is not set.
I believe this is a gcc 4.5.0 optimization problem as building with earlier version of gcc do not result in a segfault.
Posted a gcc bug:

The bug I submitted may be a duplicate of
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43791
There seems to be a fix, but there may be another (44043) that is not yet fixed. we may want to revert to gcc-4.4.4.

When testing the kernel, Bruce Dubbs ran into some issues releated to the Intel e1000e network card driver causing a segfault. I've attaced a patch that will fix that issue. Please merge it into the book for me.
