Further testing revealed several other problems, let me first start with
my specs:
Kernel: Linux 2.6.0-test9-mm2
Distro: Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.11
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2700+
Disk: Maxtor 6Y120P0
Ethernet: nVidia Corporation nForce2
XFree86: 4.3.0
Monitor: Iiyama AS4314UT, TFT-Master Pro 17
Videocard: nVidia Corporation NV15DDR [GeForce2 Ti]
Audio: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1
Issues:
- dhcpcd eth0 takes longer to load
- emerge sync (gentoo update tool) hangs in the middle of updating
(confirmed not to happen with nvnet)
- modprobe segfaulted on "modprobe -r forcedeth" (note: eth0 was not
active)
On the good side:
- nvnet seems to mess up my framebuffer, forcedeth does not :)
Should you require more information just ask.
good luck,
Lawrence
