Dear Linux folks,


I optimized the Linux kernel configuration on my ASRock E350M1, and it now
boots really fast.

Unfortunately, that seems to cause the network driver to hit some corner
case, so that the link is supposedly down, although it should be up. The
cable is plugged in the whole time.

```

It happens with all Linux kernels I tried. Please find all Linux
messages attached.

Could you please tell me, how this can be debugged and solved?


Kind regards,

Paul
