Hang when using r8169 module #512

Open CendioOssman opened 4 years ago

CendioOssman commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to get Thinstation booting on an older Dell machine we have here. Unfortunately things got problematic once I got to adding module r8169 for the network card in the machine. The machine just locks up during boot.

I've configure param bootlogo false and package debug but unfortunately I'm not getting any useful details.

This is where it hangs:

If I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete I get this after a while:

20191216_140538

Looks a bit like a kernel bug somewhere.

Any you have all firmwares for the module?

CendioOssman commented 4 years ago

Unsure. The build log suggested that it was automatically handled (I assume via metadata from the kernel module).

How do I check this? Dig more in the build log?

You have Param allfirmware true?

Yes, that is set.

Sooo, I found some information about this issue. Seems like softdep loading is broken.... in 5.3, and this module needs realtek.ko to load first. You could possibly play with blacklisting the module, and manually loading realtek.ko then loading r8169, and see if everything works.
