Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 Version: 2.6.26-11 Severity: important The box is VIA Epia SN board with a VIA C7 processor.
This chipset has two network cards, eth0 and eth1 eth0: VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter eth1: VIA Rhine II at 0x1c800, 00:40:63:f7:b6:8b, IRQ 23. (lspci output is at the end) Doing 'ifconfig eth0 up' crashes the kernel hard (kernel oops + box frozen). eth1 is working fine. eth0 was working fine with Etch 2.6.18-6 kernel. This is 100% reproducible. (The box also crashes at boot-time if eth0 is configured at boot-time via /etc/network/interfaces) The oops message is not logged, but is the same as in bug #508527 '2.6.26-11 oops on initial NIC (via-velocity) setup' and also in kernel Bugzilla #11121 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11121 (also under Debian).
