Description Dayaanaand Ghule 2005-09-22 12:46:41 UTC
kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp 

I upgraded my machine from Fedora core 3 to Fedora Core 4 using yum 
All the applications are now upgraded to Fedora core 4 specific version
I kept the kernel of FC3 as it is 
When I start my machine in kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 the network is not 
reachable

If I set static IP and do network restart the, network seems to be started 
properly, I am able ot do ping 127.0.0.1 and Self ip .. but no other ip on the 
network 

If I set Dynamic IP (generally in my network we use DHCP assigned IP), then  
not able to get IP addresss dynamically

When I start my machine in kernel 2.6.9-1.667 the network works fine
for Static as well as Dynamic IP
but then creates problems while using some application or yum 
upgrades/installs (like segmentation faults)

I tried with IBM Machine with onboard LAN card (kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp)
In lspci it shows Lan card as (Broadcomm Corporation NetXtreme PCM5751 Gigabit 
Ethernet PCI express (rev 11)

I also tried in HP machine with Onboard LAN Card (kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4)
in lspci it shows Lan card as Intel 8256EZ2 

When I add new (PCI) Lan card to IBM PC I am able to get on to network eaisly 

Steps to reproduce

1. Get any hardware with onboard Lancard (eg: Intel Motherboard with 82562EZ 
as Lan card)
2. Install / Upgrade to Fedora 4 with kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 / kernel-2.6.11-
1.1369_FC4smp 
3. set Static IP for current network  Or try to get IP from DHCP 
4. See falied to ping any other machie

Comment 1 Dayaanaand Ghule 2005-09-22 13:07:46 UTC
I tried changing settings to half Duplex using mii-tool 
still it didnt worked 

also tried with kernel kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4



Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-09-23 22:31:59 UTC
can you try the latest update ? 2.6.12-1.1456 came out yesterday.
There's also a 2.6.13-1.1524 in updates-testing if you want to give that a try
(though it may have some other problems).

Are you getting a default route added ? What's the output of route -n ?


Comment 3 Dayaanaand Ghule 2005-09-26 06:00:35 UTC
I tried installing the kernel(s) 2.6.12-1.1456  2.6.13-1.1524
Still I am having same problem after bootint them

I also tried to see the route adresss 
After the DHCP server Assigned ipaddress (no route was added) for other 
kernels except for (2.6.9-1.667)
After the  Static Assigned ipaddress I could see the routing table but not 
able to ping (see 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 below)

Comment 4 Dayaanaand Ghule 2005-09-26 06:09:28 UTC
Created attachment 119243 [details]
Boot Log for further refrence

I have attached Boot Log for further reference (shows eth0 [failed] When
configured as DHCP assigned for all kernels except  2.6.9-1.667
  
Always Shows eth0 [passed]in static assigned (in all kernels) and (assigned
static or DHCP) in 2.6.9-1.667

Comment 5 John W. Linville 2005-09-27 14:09:54 UTC
Have you tried adding "acpi=off" or "acpi=noirq" to the kernel command line?  
Please do so and post the results...thanks! 

Comment 6 Dayaanaand Ghule 2005-09-28 06:16:33 UTC
Thanks !!! 
it did worked with acpi=off boot option with 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 Kernel 
but no sucess with  kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp  IBM Machine by any of the options  

Could you give me details Or more combination options I can try to get Onboard
Card working with kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp

Comment 7 John W. Linville 2005-09-28 14:28:35 UTC
Does it work w/  2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp?  Is there some other reason why you  
need/want 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp? 
 
From Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: 
 
        acpi=           [HW,ACPI] Advanced Configuration and Power Interface 
                        Format: { force | off | ht | strict } 
                        force -- enable ACPI if default was off 
                        off -- disable ACPI if default was on 
                        noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing 
                        ht -- run only enough ACPI to enable Hyper Threading 
                        strict --  Be less tolerant of platforms that are not 
                                strictly ACPI specification compliant. 
 
So, you may want to try "acpi=ht" or possibly "acpi=noirq" instead. 
 
Unfortunately, ACPI problems are generally outside of my control.  The best 
option is to pursue a BIOS upgrade from your motherboard manufacturer. 
 
I'm going to close this as "CANTFIX", but please do post the results of trying 
"acpi=ht" with the kernel in question.  Thanks!
