Hi Andreas,

Have you removed power completely between reboots, meaning physically unplug
power at board side for 5-10 seconds such that all leds are dimmed? I have
the impression not every component is fully or correctly reset if you just
do an init 6. It would be quite interesting to know if that could be the
issue with the r8152 driver, since, except for the heartbeat, adding those
options to the original 4.16 kernel of the F28 image without any dracut
initramfs regeneration was sufficient on my device.

Best regards,

Vince
