Hi *
having recompiled the kernel my network card (onboard nForce controller, using the forcedeth kernel driver) won't start any more:
--- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ifconfig eth0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy ---
I used kernel-source-2.6.8-11 but get the same problem with 2.6.8-12 and 2.6.10-3 from unstable. With 2.6.6 it works fine.
With debug messages on, dmesg gives:
modprobe forcedeth: --- forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.30. ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:04.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:04.0 to 64 0000:00:04.0: resource 0 start e0082000 len 1024 flags 0x00000200. 0000:00:04.0: MAC Address 00:10:dc:27:7d:94 0000:00:04.0: link timer on. eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 2 at PHY 1: 0x15. eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 3 at PHY 1: 0xf441. 0000:00:04.0: open: Found PHY 0540:003d at address 1. eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 4 at PHY 1: 0x1e1. eth%d: mii_rw wrote 0xde1 to reg 4 at PHY 1 eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 1 at PHY 1: 0x782d. eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 0 at PHY 1: 0x3000. eth%d: mii_rw wrote 0xb000 to reg 0 at PHY 1 eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 0 at PHY 1: 0x3000. eth%d: mii_rw of reg 0 at PHY 1 failed. eth%d: mii_rw read from reg 0 at PHY 1: 0x3000. eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01462:373c bound to 0000:00:04.0 ---

I tried to use an older driver version (0.25, works for 2.6.6) with 2.6.10: doesn't work. So it isn't sure that it really is a forcedeth problem.
Networking in general is ok, eth1 (a Realtek) works fine.
Thx
