[Bug 1003297] Re: Networking and ACPI conflicts
Marco Aicardi, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux
For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue
Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports
Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Networking and ACPI conflicts
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The Linux kernal seems to have an issue with my on-board networking
adapter and the ACPI of my computer. The boot log provides this bit
of information:
[ 12.236250] ACPI: resource nForce2_smbus [io 0x0700-0x073f]
conflicts with ACPI region SM00 [io 0x700-0x73f]
On doing some research this seems to be a very old and somewhat common
bug that no one has ever done anything about.
This bug results in two things:
My on-board networking doesn't work, and trying to restart or shutdown
the computer freezes the system.
With the previous 12.04 kernel, 3.2.0-23.36, there were two
workarounds.
1) Boot into rescue mode, drop to the terminal, run "rmmod forcedeth"
then "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then resume a normal boot.
This enabled both networking and regular ACPI functions.
or
2) Add "forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" to /etc/modules
If you booted normally without following either of the above steps and
then tried to modprobe, it wouldn't work. If you tried to rmmod the
module, the system would instantly freeze.
With the new kernel update, 3.2.0-24.38, the above method number 1
still works, but number 2 no longer works as a workaround. It simply
doesn't do anything.
The replacement work around for the new kernel is you must add the
line "exec rmmod forcedeth" directly underneath the beginning of the
script section in the file /etc/init/module-init-tools.conf, then you
must add "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" to /etc/rc.local. This new
method doesn't work with the old kernel, and the old method doesn't
work with the new kernel.
I fear unless this long-standing bug is fixed once and for all so such
hoops don't have to be jumped through, at one point the kernel may
receive some update to where no method will be able to get this to
work at all.
For the record, none of the various GRUB tweaks, such as acpi=off or
acpi=force, did anything.
