    Kernel panic due to ALX driver

    Hello,

    I just installed Kubuntu 19.04 on MSIGP60 and enjoy using it but seem to have a kernel issue. I realize that this is not Kubuntu specific, but it is the only Linux system that I have installed at this time, so I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me could help with the issue.

    My CPU rises to 100% quickly after logging in. After some investigation with KSystemLog I saw the culprit in the form of endlessly repeating messages:

    Code:
                             kernel    [ 2804.187465] alx 0000:04:00.0 enp4s0: fatal interrupt 0x4001607, resetting
    This seems to be a known issue with some ethernet drivers.

    What I have tried so far:

    1. Temporary attempted fix has bricked my session:
    Code:
    sudo rmmod alx
    2. I also ran the following with no appreciable result:
    Code:
     sudo ifconfig enp4s0 mtu 9000
    I am out of my depth here. Does anyone know how to deal with this driver? I don't need wired connection.

    Much obliged,

    Niko Z.

    Run
    Code:
    inxi -Fxx
    and post the results in a CODE box. The "F" is upper case and the "xx" is lower case.

    If you don't have inxi, do this:
    Code:
    sudo apt install inxi
    , the run the above.

        I edited
        Code:
        /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
        by appending

        Code:
        blacklist alx 
        blacklist mdio
        That seems to have done the trick.
