Description Albert Ortiz 2005-01-19 15:14:00 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm in a hurry installing two new HP DL360 G4 servers 
with Fedora Core 2.

All fedora installation went fine but the system generates an error
with my Syskonnect SK-5544 FDDI cards (yes I know this architechture 
is obsolete but is what I have). I didn't have any problems with this
cards in other old servers I installed before (Redhat 8 and SuSE).

The dmesg says:
Syskonnect FDDI PCI Adapter driver 2.07
skfp:Invalid PCI region size: 2048
skfddi: probe of 0000.0a.01.0  failed with error -5

lspci detects my card without problems and the BIOS detects it too.

I've updated the kernel to the newest version but the problem is the
same. I compiled the kernel by myself and the problem continues.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Starting the machine or installing FDDI modules by hand from "insmod".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora core 2 and look into log files

  
Actual results:
Syskonnect FDDI PCI Adapter driver 2.07
skfp:Invalid PCI region size: 2048
skfddi: probe of 0000.0a.01.0  failed with error -5

Expected results:
FDDI working

Additional info:
no

Hi,
also looking into messages I've found this other:

Comment 3 Albert Ortiz 2005-01-21 09:21:42 UTC

sorry for first comentary I disabled acpi (booting with acpi=off) and
the line with ACPI does not appear anymore:

 kernel: SysKonnect FDDI PCI Adapter driver v2.07 for
 kernel:   SK-55xx/SK-58xx adapters (SK-NET FDDI-FP/UP/LP)
 kernel: skfp: Invalid PCI region size: 2048

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 04:55:39 UTC

Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
