Steps to reproduce: recompile kernel (linus tree, updated yesterday) with the attached .config, and after rebooting, it cannot access network device driver.
rc4-dmesg: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f21acad3c rc5-dmesg: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f15c67546 difference between rc4 and rc5 dmesg: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f2a2b8d0a the .config for rc5: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f136ebe71 sorry, i don't have the .config for rc4, but .config for rc5 is generated from rc4's .config via "make oldconfig".
Sorry, further information: by no network device driver, I meant that "ifconfig" gives (for rc4): eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F3:B4:7E:FF inet addr:10.10.1.154 Bcast:10.10.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::218:f3ff:feb4:7eff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9683 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10019 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:7973358 (7.6 MiB) TX bytes:1945682 (1.8 MiB) Interrupt:17 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:240 (240.0 b) TX bytes:240 (240.0 b) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:2B:A0:CB:8B:FE inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::502b:a0ff:fecb:8bfe/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:5138 (5.0 KiB) But for rc5 it is just: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:240 (240.0 b) TX bytes:240 (240.0 b) Thanks.

I assume that something busted in your 2.6.28-rc5 .config when you ran `make oldconfig' against the 2.6.29-rc4 .config. But I'm not seeing any suspicious Kconfig changes recently.
ok, the problem is resolved. but i don't know why. after i rebooted into 2.6.29-rc5, and recompile and regenerated all the binaries again (make oldconfig, make, make modules_install and make install), everything went ok. so i am really confused why the error happened. anyway, just ignored and apologized very much for the waves created....user error :-). thank you very much for the time!
