I recently received a new Lenovo R61 laptop at work. I decided to
install Debian Lenny on it. I have mainly two problems which I cannot
solve using Debian kernels:
1. The Debian kernels have a bug in the ata_piix module which causes
the R61 to complain about the cdromdrive. This was solved by
recompiling the Debian kernel using the vanilla kernel's ata_piix.c
code.
2. On all the kernels I have tried (Debian's 2.6.24.7 and 2.6.25.2,
Ubuntu 2.6.24.3 as well as the vanilla 2.6.25.3) I had problems with
the network card: intermittend network connection on the wired NIC
( Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)).
From time to time my network connection just dies and I have to
restart network-manager or /etc/init.d/networking again.
Any idea how to fix problem number 2?
Regards
Johann
