Subject: ethernet name clash at boot
Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2002 19:12:16 +0200 (MEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <UTC200206221712.g5MHCGU08868.aeb@smtp.cwi.nl> (raw)
On a machine with a handful of ethernet cards things go wrong
when booting 2.5.24. Backing out the change that makes
net_dev_init() into an initcall in net/core/dev.c solves
the problem (no doubt accidentally).
More precisely, what happens is that two cards both get assigned
eth0, and then when the second one wants to register the error
-EEXIST is returned.
Thus, some more locking is required, or names must only be given
to things in the dev_base chain, or ...
