e1000e: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2

[idata]

Hello,

I am trying to use a rig with Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H mother board and Intel 82574L based NICr (EXPI9301CTBLK) under CentOS 5.5. Unfortunately I have issue with the NIC - during boot it fails to initialise:

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.3.10a-NAPI

Copyright(c) 1999 - 2011 Intel Corporation.ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 16PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Using NUMA node 0 for memory allocationsACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disablede1000e: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2

I receive the same result with both the original e1000e driver from the distribution and the latest driver from Intel site (as seen in the example). I have tried also 2.6.37 kernel version - with the same result. The adapter however works fine under Windows and with Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD. Please help me rsolve the issue. Thank you very much in advance.

BR,

I asked our engineers about a possible resolution, but this looks like it might be a new bug. This issue is worth tracking down, but there is a better place for help with LInux driver bugs. Your best bet is to open a bug on SourceForge. The support page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/support http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/support has a link for creating a new item in the Bugs Tracker.

I received the following information about what to include in your bug report from one of our software engineers:

This is a useful set of information that we almost always ask for when trying to solve a problem:

* Summary of bug (one line):

* Detailed description of bug:

* Reproducible with steps:

* Distribution and version:

* Kernel version:

* Intel Network Driver version (ethtool -i ethX):

* Dmesg info with modprobe e1000 debug=21, or at least any relevant dmesg info:

* 'ethtool ' output:

* 'ethtool -i ' output:

* 'ethtool -e ' output:

* 'lspci -vvv' output:

* 'cat /proc/interrupts' output:

Also please see the file REPORTING-BUGS included in your kernel source. One possible location is here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html

I hope this helps.
