Bug#381886: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp: e1000 EEPROM Checksum failed on T60p
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: normal
On a T60p with the latest BIOS (1.09), e1000 fails to find the ethernet device
when loaded. It generates the following error in the kernel log:
Aug 7 06:39:18 localhost kernel: e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
Aug 7 06:39:18 localhost kernel: e1000: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5
Plugging in the cable and then loading the module works around the problem.
