Latest working kernel version: 2.6.28.6 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.28.7 Distribution: Arch Linux 32 bit Hardware Environment: DELL Studio PC Quad Core Duo Nvidia 9600 GT 4 GB RAM 2x500 GB HDD in RAID 0 (fake-RAID) wifi (Broadcom) Software Environment: KDE 4.2.1 (KDEmod) Problem Description: I've reported this problem about 3 months ago (to Arch devs) and at that time it disappeared. I have a DELL pc with an Intel QUAD Core processor and Nvidia graphics card (9600GT). My machine has two network cards (one wifi (Broadcom) and one normal cable (Realtek)). In the last two or three days now I haven't had any internet/network connection and udev takes like 90 seconds (normally it takes a second) to start up. When I boot my machine right after grub I get these warnings RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/fub_rules.c (625) RTNL: assertion failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (1045) RTNL: assertion failed at net/ipv4/imgp.c (1348) RTNL: assertion failed at net/ipv4/imgp.c (1199) I first thought my machine had switched the order of dependence it loads the network cards (eth0=wifi, eth1=cable) to (eth1=wifi, eth0=cable). So I tried to change the order in wicd but that doesn't help. So something is broken again in Arch Linux. I've haven't making ANY changes to my system all other than updating my machine when updates are available (using KDEmod 4.2.1). So I have no clue what the problem is, if it's the kernel or udev or klibc-udev. I just know this is very very annoying. Steps to reproduce:
Is this an upstream kernel or an arch supplied kernel. Also what are you using to drive the Nvidia card
This is an arch supplied kernel and I'm using the propriatery nvidia driver (latest beta 185.13). Regards André
Can you reproduce it without ever having the proprietary nvidia stuff loaded ?
Well, the problem is gone now since the latest kernel upgrade (to 2.6.28.8) and the errors I saw after grub are gone also. Regards André
Thanks..
