Any advice for e1000e users?
Has the module been blacklisted? or are they using the patches floating around that reduces the (already small) risk of problems?

Yes, It has been blacklisted as noted in the release notes.

thanks. seems wise until the issue is fully tracked down.
e1000e Posted Oct 1, 2008 16:18 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Sorry, I meant to note that. Just about every distributor shipping a 2.6.27-rc kernel has taken steps to avoid trashing users' hardware.

A bug worth noting from the Release Notes is... that on dual boot systems... you don't get a grub menu. I haven't had time to examine the specifics. Perhaps they just have menu turned off and 0 second pause? I'm assuming it can be manually fixed by editing the grub.conf post install?

It should be. Otherwise do file a bug report and pass on the link and it can added to the release notes as well.

You can get the grub menu by holding down your "Any" key when booting.
strangely, the grub.conf line reads

Actually, after BIOS/EFI finished to load, quickly press any key to display Grub menu.

In grub.conf delete "hidenmenu".
