Token ring is broken in 2.4 I've had IBM PCI Token Ring adapters working under 7.1 so I'm not sure how it's broken unless it's specifically the ibmtr_cs module. When I return to Raleigh on Friday I'll test the ibmtr_cs with a static IP to verify it inserts into the ring correctly and handles data traffic. I think this is a DHCP / Token Ring issue. Apparently from my limited reading of the DHCP spec and other clients (ISC has a dhcp client that behaves alot nicer with token ring) a DHCP request on token ring is formated slightly different from a DHCP address on ethernet. I haven't checked the pump source code yet but I susspect as a first guess that this is the root of the problem. Of course, without checking the source first I could also be talking out my... If the kernel is panicing, there is a problem in the kernel. There may also be a problem in pump, but it's hard to tell that for people whose machines are panicing... Please test this with the 2.4.2-0.1.19 kernel that will be arriving in rawhide shortly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28139 *** |
