nforce 430 doesn't work on gutsy

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you also attach the information outlined here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies

I've also noticed a new kernel (2.6.22-12.36) was published today. Care to try this release and verify this bug is still an issue? If you could also comment on the last know version this was not a problem that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

Hi, I just try to install the new Ubuntu 9.04 on my machine (where I regularly use a Debian unstable/sid with a 2.6.29 vanilla kernel recompiled by myself without any problem) and I have a similar problem with the forcedeth driver.

I can't find no way to make it works.

Once the driver is loaded, i get these messages in the log files:

May 3 12:48:08 nemo kernel: [ 948.439398] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.61.

No led blinks neither in the motherboard network plug or in the router port.

Any hint?

Just to clarify... I use Linux Debian Linux in this machine since 2 years... so the problem seem not to be related to this version of the kernel... under Debian it works also with old versions
