[Bug 1352461] Re: IRQ conflict disables wired network on cold (first) boot

 

Sadly I am unable to perform the BIOS update, as flashrom complains that "Management Engine region is locked",
FreeDOS crashes with a "Interrupt divide by zero" immediately on booting, and I don't have access to windows. I guess I'll have to live with the workaround for now.

Fixing the problem should however not require a BIOS update, as the bug
is a regression (Ubuntu Precise did not suffer from it, until some
update introduced the problem). I of course understand that the BIOS
upgrade might still have fixed the problem (if the earlier working
condition involved two wrongs making a right), and that you want to test
on an up-to-date BIOS to avoid unnecessary work, but unfortunately I can
not help you help me.

Title:
  IRQ conflict disables wired network on cold (first) boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On every cold boot the ethernet controller fails to load, leaving the wired network completely disabled.
  No interface /dev/eth0 is created.
  IRQ 49 is taken by snd_hda_intel.
   49:      29219          0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel
  eth0 is not listed in /proc/interrupts
  The following log message is printed:
  e1000e: probe of 0000:00:19.0 failed with error -3

  When rebooting the machine (without powering down), the ethernet controller loads normally and functions without problems.
  IRQ:s are now allocated differently:
   49:     155107          0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      eth0
   50:       1414     965740          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel

  The expected behaviour is that the ethernet controller will be
  assigned an IRQ on the first boot, and load normally.

  The network controller worked fine in Precise, until some upgrade in June.
  I did not diagnose the problem immeditaly, and don't know which upgrade caused the regression.
  Upgrading to Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS) did not solve the problem.

  The problem is not random: it occurs at every cold boot and
  the workaround of rebooting immediately after each cold boot works persistently.
  I tried, as a workaround, setting the following kernel parameters (one at a time): 
  pci=noacpi , pci=routeirq , noapic, acpi=off, pcie_pme=force and irqpoll
  None of the listed kernel parameters affected the problem.
  rmmod e1000e followed modprobe e1000e didn't help.

  
  The ethernet controller is a
  00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
      Kernel driver in use: e1000e

  The sound chip is a
  00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
      Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

  Both of the devices are on-board chips on the motherboard, so changing
  slots is not possible as a workaround.
