"error finishing read" with Mesa 7i92T on fresh install

That looks good Rod, thank you. I had previously just jumped to the driver section.

For the record, it appears that both updating the driver and setting the kernel parameters are needed. I did a fresh install and just changed the kernel parameters and still encountered the problem.

Once I also updated the ethernet drivers the issue was resolved.

I think that would be right because the 8168 driver is not part ot the default kernel. The dkms driver compiles and installs kernel source. THis is why you need the linux-headers for your kernel. dkms should also recompile the driver if you install a different kernel.

Hey guys,

I'm rebuilding my system after the fires and power surges near LA knocked out my last CNC computer, and I skipped the step on updating the Realtek driver.

I followed the procedure in Rodw's document (thank you again Rodw for all this amazing documentation) but when I'm done, my network to the Mesa card does not come up.

Just to be sure I'm on the right document: docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI..._PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY/

The results of
includes:

My first google attempts haven't solved it, but I'll report back if I do.

But if you guys know what I've done wrong, please shout out. 

BTW: I did discover that if I do what Rodw mentions in the document:

Then I can get the network card back up again. But then it's back to the bad driver too. 

I thought to do:

... but I'm afraid I might never get it working again !
 

PS: I realized that r8169 is not really even a thing, it's just kinda part of the kernel, but just to be sure that wouldn't fix anything, I did try:

but nothing happens: it's an error since that's not a thing that's been installed, unlike the r8168-dkms.

Rod, I'm going to try your 6.3 rt kernel...

note that I think the document docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY

has a typo on line 40... it should be:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers (tab)
not 
sudo dpkg -i linux-source (tab)

It's really awesome that you put that package up there. 

My 6.3 kernel is quite old now but still ahead of Bookworm's 6.1 kernel
Sometimes I have lost my network with the R8168 and have been able to boot into a different kernel on the system to resolve it. Except I can't remember what I resolved! I think I needed to download something from the internet or run apt

I updated the typo
