This bug has just returned for me as well, this afternoon, under Lucid. The symptoms are the same as before -- CPU spikes about every 3 seconds, the ethernet port's lights remain perpetually lit, ethernet is non- functional, and my CPU process monitor graph looks just like JohnAspinall's on the forum thread. Removing the e1000e module (``sudo modprobe -r e1000e``) squelches the CPU spikes. Attempting to reinstall the module (``sudo modprobe e1000e``) takes approximately 2 minutes during which the CPU is pegged; after reinstaling the module, the port lights remain lit and the port remains nonfunctional, but the CPU spikes are gone.
If I boot into the previous kernel version (2.6.32-21-generic) I have no problem, eth0 works as expected with no aberrant spikes or stuck lights. -- events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
