After rebuilding the current kernel today (cvsup at 16:20 UTC) on my T30 ThinkPad, I saw to major (though possibly unrelated) problems. 1. My second disk (master on the secondary bus) suddenly probes as having a non-ATA66 cable. It is a laptop drive and has not cable. It probes fine with the old kernel and runs at UDMA5. Attempts to use atacontrol to reset it to UDMA5 received the same message. The drive does work and I had not problems reading or writing. It was just slow. The master on the primary bus (the system disk) probed correctly. 2. My network card (Intel Pro 100 VE) probes fine and looks fine, but never seems to send a packet. I monitored the Ethernet using tcpdump on a directly connected system and receives NO packets. dhclient reported the error "send_packet: Network is down". I don't know if these are two different problems that cropped up at the same time or a common failure. A kernel built from sources dated yesterday at 16:29 UTC works fine. Our cvs mirror updates every hour, so there is some fuzz in the times. Any ideas? (mdodd just fixed one really annoying problem yesterday and today I get an even more annoying problem. The joy of running current. :-( If I don't see any report of what might be wrong, I'll try to do some more in-depth testing tomorrow. No time today. Thanks, -- R.
