Forgot, Via Apollo Pro266T North Bridge. Is there anything interesting in "dmesg" or /var/log/messages about the ethernet ? I have tested SUSE also, it will not bring up the nic either. I have installed the 2.6.6 kernel from kernel.org and it will not bring the nic up either. It seems that once I boot with 2.4.2X kernel, any 2.6 can boot thereafter. Nothing in dmesg. Just the deferred message during init. My guess is that it has to do with IRQ routing (BIOS & registers), the kernel and kudzu. My BIOS is old (2001). Byte My workaround is to install FC2 and reboot. Install FC1 2.4 kernel from CD and reboot. Let kudzu find new network device, make sure nic works. Reboot with 2.6 kernel, and everything is happy. Byte I can try doing a clean FC2 install here, but I've tried deleting my kudzu config several times now, and rebooting under varying kernels from pre FC2 releases, to the latest out of bitkeeper, and they all seem to run the card properly, I have no problems send or receiving traffic. When you see this problem occur, can you cat /proc/interrupts and see if the requisite interrupt counter increments while you try to send or receive traffic? If it doesn't then your most likely correct, in that this is a BIOS issue. I do not have this hardware anymore and cannot test. Sorry. Byte |
