Title:
  Network problem in Lucid with RTL-8139 (solved)

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  After upgrade to Lucid my network stopped working and system became unstable - random freezes.
  When booting from live cd it was the same. Looks like some hardware conflict.

  SOLUTION: add "noapic" to grub kernel options.

  My fixed kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:
  kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=b53c210d-3a12-4afc-9f8b-3fd73878bb41 ro quiet splash noapic

  I reproduced this problem on two identical PCs.
