Actually, this is a problem in the e1000 driver. It puts the chip into a power-management state then accesses it's registers in a way that it shouldn't, which results in a timeout.
I've known about this bug since the 2.6.17 kernel was released but never had time to look into it and fix properly. The hypervisor shouldn't abort like that, but the true cause is the e1000 driver. So we don't need an "upgrade your OBP" in the release for this issue since we can fix the failure anyways in the e1000 code. -- [SPARC] - Regression - Niagara does not reboot properly https://launchpad.net/bugs/62485 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
