Re: 2.6.9-rc1-bk11+ and 2.6.9-rc1-mm3,4 r8169: freeze during boot (FIX included)

Hans-Frieder Vogt [off-list ref] :
[...]

no oops (BUG_ON not triggered)! System boots up as normal, but just after I 

...

log in on the console the system freezes, i.e., keyboard does not react any 
more and the system is not accessible via network.

- do the keyboard leds or the magic sysrq answer (I assume you boot without X) ?
- does it make a difference if you boot with the network cable unpluged (i.e.
  fine until pluged then dead when first packet comes in) ?

The time from the moment I log in to the time when the system freezes varies, 
but is in the order of 5s.

First packet probably. Can you verify this point ?

There is no difference whether NAPI is enabled or not.

I will welcome lspci -vx + gcc version + objdump -S of the r8169 module.
