November 30, 200718 yr Looks like I'm bit with the Realtek GigE NIC problm.... I have a Biostar TA690G with Athlon BE2400. The AMD 690 chipset has a Realtek Gigabit ethernet. It works fine with unRAID 4.0. When I tried to boot it with unRAID 4.2.1, it hangs during boot, just after recognizing the Realtek. If I disable the Realtek in the BIOS, it will boot normally. I added a spare Intel 10/100 and it is up and running, bit I *really* need to get the onboard NIC going since I need the PCI slot for the second controller. Alternatively, anyone know a GigE card that runs in a PCI-e slot that works with unRAID?
November 30, 200718 yr Author BTW, here is dmseg excerpt from *successful* booting with unRAID 4.0 and the Realtek GigE enabled: [ 54.535440] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded [ 54.535510] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 54.535620] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64 [ 54.535791] eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xdc820000, 00:e0:4d:2b:cb:fc, IRQ 16 This exact same system with no changes hangs loading 4.2.1 right after loading the Realtek driver.
