[Bug 1374747] Re: e1000e causes intermittent freezes

 

Kasper F. Brandt, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (2.30). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  e1000e causes intermittent freezes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When e1000e is loaded and the interface is up the systems freezes for
  about a ½ second every 4 seconds. I took special note of these lines
  in the dmesg output:

  [    2.339056] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 (unregistered net_device): Failed to initialize MSI interrupts.  Falling back to legacy interrupts.
  [    2.900771] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 (unregistered net_device): Hardware Error

  And one additional Hardware Error everytime I brought the interface up
  or down.
