Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1Posted Sep 24, 2008 5:27 UTC (Wed) by aj (subscriber, #39001)In reply to: Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 by ssam Parent article: Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1
AFAIK the current theory is that it only happens on Laptops where the EEPROM is part of the NVRAM - and that it gets destroyed by another driver during a crash/OOPS, e.g. the graphics driver. But to confirm this, we need to reproduce it first.
But today there's AFAIK nothing concrete enough that I can tell you whether a system is affected or not. I suggest to save the eeprom as others commented.

I have to correct myself: It might happen with non-Laptops as well (happened with machine with onboard e1000).
