3c509.o worked in redhat 6.1 configured from linuxconf. insmod 3c509 eth0 fail upon startup for redhat 6.2 and 7.0.
What happens when you do the insmod 3c509 ? Is anything logged in dmesg ?
at startup when it try to bring up eth0 error: delaying initialization fail
at redhat 6.2, 7.0 startup when it try to bring up eth0 error: relaying initialization fail ------------------------------------------- I used to configure ethernet from linuxconf. setting for my 3c09 card would be like Net device:eth0 Kernel module: 3c509.o I/O port: 0x300 Irq:10 Net device:eth1 //second ethernet card Kernel module: tulip.o //both ethernet cards work fine ------------------------------------- For redhat 6.2, 7.0, I configure ethernet from linuxconf. Net device:eth0 Kernel module: 3c509 // either 3c509 or 3c509.o can't insmod at startup I/O port: 0x300 Irq:10 Net device:eth1 //second ethernet card Kernel module: tulip //tulip ethernet card works without .o at the end. doesn't work if it's tulip.o -------------------------------------
What are the contents of /etc/modules.conf? If it includes "alias eth0 3c509", then this may in fact be a kernel-related bug.
-------content of /etc/modules.conf -------- alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c509 options 3c509 io=3X100 irc=10 --------end of content---------------------
It looks like that file's been written wrong. This line: options 3c509 io=3X100 irc=10 should probably be: options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10
Ops, I typed it wrong. Sorry about that. -------content of /etc/modules.conf -------- alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c509 options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10 --------end of content---------------------
Type '/sbin/modprobe 3c509' then 'dmesg' and attach the dmesg output please
Switching to appropriate component for the installer (anaconda), but not sure this is an anaconda issue yet.
Created attachment 3641 [details] script of '/sbin/modprobe 3c509' and 'dmesg'
Assigning to test engineer to replicate.
reassigning these to dale@redhat.com for further review ...
Could you please include the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ? You may do this at the command line by typing "cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 > filename" then attaching that file (filename) to this bug report. Thanks!
