From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-7.0.8 i686) Description of problem: Using RH7 (2.2.19-7.0.12) on Dell 8200 which shipped with CNET Tech PRO200WL ethernet adapter (Davicom chip set), I can load dmfe module and see eth0 interface appear but when traffic is sent over interface the kernel panics. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get machine with CNET Pro200WL PCI FastEther Adapter and 2.2.19-7.0.12 kernel installed. 2. insmod dfme 3. configure eth0 interface 4. send traffic over interface Actual Results: Kernel panics with: <bunch of data> Code: 89 50 04 68 ... Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! Interrupt handler - not syncing Expected Results: I should be able to use the interface to pass traffic. Additional info: kudzu does not seem to identify the card properly but I determined that the card has a davicom ethernet chip in it and so manually choose the dmfe module. I understand the 2.2 dfme modules might not be very good? You have any suggestions?
Obviosuly, step (2) of "Steps to reproduce" should be "insmod dmfe" *not* "insmod dfme" Argh. - Jim
i too have a dimension 8200, what graphics card did you get? i got the geforce3 and it didn't autodetec my monitor...but i think i have fixed that issue by intalling the nvidia drivers i still can't get ethernet to work =( anyone at redhat help please?
actually i think dell is purposely not supporting linux as microsoft is giving them the shaft about being a premiere business partner and selling linux on their machines corporate bastards
