Bug Description

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.15-26-386-di

I have an Averatec 2460, Intel Core Duo, Intel 945GM chipset, Intel GMA 950 graphics, onboard Realtek 8139 NIC. Ubuntu and many other distros fail to install, it hangs at hardware detection. I managed to install Breezy and upgrade to Dapper. The Dapper kernel (2.6.15-26) won't boot. The reason is the 8139too module used for the NIC. If I re-compile the Dapper kernel and the 8139too module with "Use PIO instead of MMIO" set then it works.

This is a serious bug because a single module prevents Dapper from installing at all!

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!
