login sin passwd
Hola listeros. Ayer tube el siguiente problema que no consigo explicar ni arreglar, resulta que de buenas a primeras no puedo entrar en la maquina. Os cuento: - Me da el login. - Introducco el login. .. .. y me vuelve a dar el login, !!no me pide el password!! y no puedo entrar en la maquina. he mirado los log, el /etc/passwd (desde un disco de rescate) y en principio todo funciona bien. Alguna sugerencia de lo que puede pasar, y lo que es mas importante, como solucionarlo. Saludos. _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Escuela de Ingenierías Industriales (Badajoz) _

Alguna sugerencia de lo que puede pasar, y lo que es mas importante, como solucionarlo. El primer mensage de 'login:' lo muestra getty el cual acepta la entrada y la pasará al programa login haciendo un exec. (El pid no cambia). Este mostrará el segundo mensaje 'Password:' y en caso de aceptar hace un exec de la shell (El pid continua sin cambiar). Cuando muere la shell es como si muriera el getty original que fue arrancado por el proceso init. Pese a esos cambios de personalidad sufridos por getty lo cierto es que para el proceso init el proceso arrancado identificado por su pid continuaba vivo hasta que murió al finalizar la shell. La clausula 'respawn' con la la cual se arranca getty instruye a 'init' para que vuelva a arrancarlo tan pronto muera. En este caso parece ser que muere 'login' porque ni siquiera muestra el mensaje de 'Password:'. Si fuera un problema de permisos. (Login solo puede ser ejecutado de cierta manera y con ciertos permisos) Login probablemente devolvería algún mensaje de error. (O quizas no. Login no gusta de dar más información que la estrictamente necesaria). Comprueba que login está correctamente instalado, y que los ficheros que necesita tambien están bien. Lee la página man de login. Espero que con todos estos datos tengas información para investigar el problema.

Instala en núcleo 2.2.19, tiene un módulo VIA82C que al cargarlo con modconf funciona perfectamente. No hace falta ALSA ni nada. Suerte.

Se traba la máquina al usar scp con archivos grandes.
Tengo una PII con Debian potato actuando como firewall, y una PIII con Woody como cliente, que es mi máquina de todos los días. Recientemente traté de pasar un archivo grande (realplayer, 8Mb) de la PIII a la II, para ello entré a la II por ssh (ya que no tiene teclado ni tarjeta de video) como siempre, y luego traté de usar scp linuxclient:realplayer . La pantalla solo mostró el inicio de la transferencia y mi PIII se trabó sin remedio. Ni Magic-Sys-Req funcionaba. Lo chistoso es que las tarjetas ethernet seguían parpadeando como si se estuviera transmitiendo información, pero al verificar posteriormente solo se transfirieron unos pocos Kb en muchos minutos, lo que me hace pensar que en realidad no había tal transferencia. El error lo he reproducido 3 veces con distintos archivos de mas de 1 Mb. Cabe notar que por otro lado la comunicación no tiene problemas, se unen por un Rj45 a través de dos 8039compatibles genéricas. Inclusive los archivos pasaron ya una vez por la conexión, pues la PIII los bajó de internet a través de la II en primer lugar. ¿alguna idea?

Modem PCTel PCI no Debian 2.2r3
Pessoal, Depois de muitos problemas tentando instalar o PCTel PCI no Debian potato eu consegui e anotei tudo o que eu fiz para isso num mini-Howto, que segue anexo. Está em inglês porque mandei para a lista debian-user também, e não tive tempo ainda para traduzir. Qualquer dúvida me perguntem. Abraços, - Vítor == PCTel HSP56 Micromodem PCI at Debian 2.2r3 (potato) Mini-HOWTO 0.1 == 1 - Introduction 1.1 - Purpose The purpose of this document is to be a guide to anyone who is having problems installing a HSP56 PCI Micromodem from PCTel on a Debian 2.2r3 (potato) system. In the folowing paragraphs I will try to describe how I installed this modem (which is becoming popular on the latest computer models) on my Debian system (a very popular Linux distro). I did not try other distributions of Linux or other kinds of Winmodems. For more information on Winmodems/Linmodems and the installation of their drivers, please consult: - Linmodems.org - Rob Clark's site: http://www.kcdata.com/~gromitkc/winmodem.html - The Linux Documentation Project: http://www.linuxdoc.org - Jan Stifter's Homepage: http://www.medres.ch/~jstifter/linux/pctel.html These links have been very helpful to me. Last but not least, please excuse my english. I'm not a native speaker. I wrote this in english so it could reach more users, but if you think portuguese is easier for you to understand, please contact me. I'll be glad to write to you in my native language. 1.2 - Warning Use this document as a guide only, adapting the instructions in it to your case. This is not a final solution, and things can go wrong! The author does not guarantee the instructions below won't damage your system in any ways and will not be held responsible for any harm caused by the use of this document. In other words: use this guide at your own risk. I am not a Linux expert. This document tells you my experience by describing exactly what I did. This has worked on a i686 system (AMD Athlon) with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 (potato) installed, and a PCTel HSP56 Micromodem PCI (not onboard). I don't know if it works in any other plataforms or kinds of modem so, if you try it and it works, please let me know. 1.3 - The author If you want to contact me, please use my email: Vítor Souza [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or suggestions for this Mini-Howto. 2 - Before you begin Before you begin, please be sure to have the following: - The CD Set for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 (potato) binaries (at least CDs 1 and 2 of the 3-CDs Set). - Access to the internet on another machine or system. - Some hard disk space (can't precise how much). 3 - The installation procedure == The installation procedure consists on: - Getting the driver from the Internet; - Installing and preparing the kernel source; - Compiling and fixing the driver; - Connecting to the Internet. I did all the steps above as root, so I won't describe which steps requires root access and which ones don't. If you don't want to do all the instructions as root, try to do them as a normal user and su as root for the instructions that tell you Permission denied. I'm just not that cautious about running my system as root when I'm installing things. My opinion is that as long as you don't play games or access the Internet as root, you'll be OK. 3.1 - Getting the driver from the Internet The drivers that worked for me were on Jan Stifter's Homepage, at http://www.medres.ch/~jstifter/linux/pctel.html. The name of the archive is pctel-2.2.tar.gz, and it should still be there. Download it and copy to any directory to which you have access to when logged in Linux. Also, you'll need a little script called 'fixscript'. You can find the latest version of it reading the Linmodem-Howto (look for it a the Linux Documentation Project). At the end of this document there is a version that worked for me, and you can use that also. $ cd /directory/where/files/were/downloaded/to First of all, access the directory where you copied both of the files (the drivers and fixscript). $ cp pctel-2.2.tar.gz /usr/src $ cp fixscript /usr/src Copy both of them to the /usr/src directory. That directory should exist on your Debian distro. $ cd /usr/src $ tar -zxvf pctel-2.2.tar.gz Change directory to /usr/src, unzip (de-compact) and untar (de-archive) the driver files. This will create the directory pctel-2.2. You can erase pctel-2.2.tar.gz if you want. 3.2 - Installing and preparing

minor problems with new emacs21 installation
Dear People, I just compiled and installed (for potato) the emacs 21 prerelaease sources (21.0.104.2) provided by Takuo Kitame. Previous to this, I was using emacs 20.7. I am experiencing some minor problems. 1) Global font lock mode does not work unless I switch it off and switch it on again. I had to install Auctex 10 to get it working it at all. 2) It can't find the info dir. This can probably be easily fixed, but why is it not working out of the box? 3) M-x R locks up emacs 21. I've never seen anything do this before. This command uses ESS to start up R. It is unlikely that someone else who is reading this is using ESS, R and emacs 21, but I thought it worth mentioning. I probably need to take this to the ESS mailing list. Suggestions greatly appreciated. I know there are other people around who are using emacs 21 prerelease. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha.

Will my modem work?
Hello All, I am using the KOB 810e FSFx mainboard. (http://www.kobian.com) It uses the Intel 810e chipset. In the manual it is written that snip The KOB 810e FSFx is installed with the enhanced Intel 810e chipset. The mainboard has built-in 3D graphics, 3D sound, and a V.90 modem. Two 32-bit PCI expansion slots are provided plus a TV-Out/LCD Panel Riser slot. /snip Also I am not sure why, but my computer vendor has also provided a modem (Motorola SM56 PCI Speakerphone Modem) which is attached to the COM3 port under Windows 98. When I check under the Control Panel-Modems-Diagnostics I see only the Motorola SM56 PCI Speakerphone Modem. This modem is plugged into one of the PCI expansion slots (as mentioned in the snippet above). Is it possible that my vendor didn't provide me with that V.90 modem?

Re: nVidia users help needed
I am new to Debian and relatively new to Linux and ask your help with this God forsaken nVidia card. I initially installed 2.2r0 and upgraded the system to 2.2r3 followed by a dist-upgrade to Woody (for Xfree4.0.3). When I enter the command xf86cfg the command is unrecognized. I have never been able to get even a frame buffered support for this card and subsequently no X! I have tried all that I know of to do with the dist-upgrades for a more current set-up but all has failed. I also did a simple package selection which seemingly does not install kernl headers or source as /usr/src/linux does not contain these items unless Debian stores them elsewhere. I was going to try and compile the Nvidia-src files I found on one of the Debian FTP sites that I read of in the archives, but no kernel-src-headers. If you want kernel source or headers, you want the kernel-source-vvv or kernel-headers-vvv packages, where vvv is the version number of the kernel you're compiling against. Personally, I recommend springing for the full source distribution, and using make-kpkg (in the kernel-package package) to compile the kernel and/or modules. In addition, you probably want the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages. The documentation for those packages (in /usr/doc/package-name) should explain how to install them. You do need to be running unstable or testing, though. I haven't been able to find a good program to to auto-configure Xfree4 (XF86Setup and its ilk seem to have disappeared), but you can perform the necessary configuration with a little bit of trial and error by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand- the format is really not that difficult. You can run 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86', which performs some of XF86Setup's functions, and which will generate a starting XF86Config. The documentation for nvidia-glx-src will describe the changes you will need to make to XF86Config (in particular, Driver needs to be set to nvidia, rather than nv. Hope that helps. -- Geoffrey M.

Bullshit. The important question is: does the modem use a real hardware
port, or is the port emulated by a special windows driver? Look in
device manager in the same where COM and LPT ports are. If you can find
a COM3 there (maybe, some windrivers emulate good), look at its
properties. If it is using default IO and IRQ settings (IRQ=4, IO=2e8 or
3e8), then you are lucky, otherwise it is only a software-emulated
interface and you are out of luck.
This modem is plugged into one of the PCI expansion slots (as mentioned in
the snippet above).
IMHO 90% of this PCI cards
- don't provide a hardware interface and depend on drivers (some of this
may be accessed using propritary drivers, see www.linmodems.org)
- or even does not have important thinks like a signal processor (so
they are even not real MoDems since they cannot Mo/Demodulate without
software hacks), so all the signal calculations must be done by the
driver (complicated to develop, in most cases only drivers for
Win-9x).
Is it possible that my vendor didn't provide me with that V.90 modem? How
to know whether I have V.90 modem in my mainboard?
If the vendor told you that _this_ modem is compatible with everything
without restrictions, bring this piece back and he must replace it with
a real modem.
But if he said something like works perfectly with every Windows
application, better sell this thing to a windows user and by a real
modem with this money. They often external, better take one for the
seriall port - USB things may work, but there are still many
troublemaker.
(b'cos I can see it on the PCI slot) I would like to know if this modem will
work with Linux. (I am using

First, if you just install xserver-xfree86 and xserver-common you should be able to run X with the default config file. In my case this works fine. Then, if you want to modify your XF86Config-4 file, xf86cfg is located in the package 'xbase-clients' (apt-get install xbase-clients). On my computer, this program do not run in graphic mode. But with the option '-textmode' it works fine. Then, configure your X server as desired, and try to start X. In my case X refused to start after I had selected NVidia GeForce card. If you are in the same case, edit manually your XF86Config-4 file and in the section of your NVIdia card replace GeForce by the real type of your card, ie GeForce2 MX in my case.

about our `how to report bugs' web page
Hi people, I've made some changes to http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting that the readers of this list should know about. It now suggests asking here in case the reader/bug submitter doesn't have a clue what package has s/he noticed a problem in. This seemed like a sensible thing to do, since a lot of these bugs are filed against unknown packages and each one of those takes a bit of time to reassign. And we all know how volunteer time is precious :) Also, some of those `clueless' bugs happen to be user errors, and it would be good if we filter those through a mailing list before leaving a permanent mark in the bug tracking system. The most often stuffed-up-Package:-pseudo-header cases are bugs in the installation system and the kernel. If anyone asks about this, please tell them to use boot-floppies and kernel, respectively. If they also mention a kernel version, tell them to use kernel-image-x.y.z-w or whatever. Also, I made some other changes to that web page so it's written a bit more clearly. I'd appreciate any comments aimed at improving it further. Anyway, thanks for your attention, and sorry for the extra traffic I caused. :) -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
strange PATH problems with root
Hi all, I run Debian Potato (Kernel 2.2.17) with Gnome and sawmill as Window Manager. I use the Gnome Display Manager for graphical loggin. Last week, I decide to uninstall gdm. Just after unsinstall, I discovered a (small) problem on my system when login into bash : the root's PATH is not set as it was before. The root PATH doesn't contain /sbin;/usr/sbin anymore. I took a look at the config file from gdm and saw that the PATH for root was correctly set in this file. I checked /etc/profile and /root/.bash_profile but the PATH isn't set in any of these file for root user. However, I can remenber that my system was running correctly before I decided to use gdm. So the right config files must have been overwriten or lost. I can't remenber if I've modified root's .bash_profile for example. So, here come my question : Could someone send me root's dot configuration file (.bash_profile at least). Is there a .profile for root just after a freshly install Or better, has someone been confronted to the same problem ? Is this due to gdm ? thanks a lot -- Pascal Thivent [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If sash is installed, then root's login shell will not include /sbin;/usr/sbin, but su will give root a proper shell including /sbin;/usr/sbin AFAIK, this feature is intended to be a last line of defense against some rootkits and against hackers who are unaware of sash.

Setting FQDN with pump?
Greetings, all. I'm running 2.2r3, and I'm having some difficulties setting my FQDN. My IP address is assigned via DHCP from a server here at work; I'm using pump. The DHCP server is set up such that when it assigns an IP address, it automatically updates the DNS tables on that server according to the hostname that my machine supplies during the DHCP operation. However, I'm still having some problems: [rcclinux:~]$ hostname rcclinux [rcclinux:~]$ hostname --fqdn rcclinux [rcclinux:~]$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:47:87:B5:44 inet addr:172.16.116.195 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5064 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf000 [rcclinux:~]$ nslookup 172.16.116.195 Server: moe.inetint.com Address: 172.16.99.20 Name:rcclinux.inetint.com Address: 172.16.116.195 My /etc/hosts file doesn't have anything except localhost and entries for the various NIS servers, not all of which are in DNS. (I use NIS only for password and group lookups; host lookups are entirely DNS.) I really don't want to edit /etc/hosts every time my IP address changes, and I don't know that there's a way to get pump to do this for me automatically. Is there another way to set the FQDN? I know that dhcpcd, in the dhcp-client package, allows you to run an arbitrary script whenever the IP address changes, but I'm not sure how to use this instead of pump. If I simply uninstall pump and replace it with dhcp-client, will ifup automatically switch over? How do I specify arguments (like the script to be run) to dhcpcd, given that it would be invoked by ifup? My /etc/resolv.conf file (which I think is created by pump) contains a search line, but no domain line. I don't want to edit this, because pump will overwrite it the next time it grabs an address. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance, Richard

Re: forcing a pci nic to use a different irq?
Matthew Garman muttered: According to the Ethernet HOWTO, the most common cause of this problem is an IRQ conflict. This seems believable, because... cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 42726 XT-PIC timer 1: 2024 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 12012 XT-PIC 5: 3 XT-PIC soundblaster 11: 5986 XT-PIC sym53c8xx, eth0 12: 4799 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 2 XT-PIC ide0 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 You can see that both my SCSI controller and my ethernet card live on IRQ 11. I'm not an expert on IRQs, but my (vague!) understanding is that it's actually the PCI controller that uses the IRQ, so if these devices are on the same bus, it doesn't necessarily indicate a conflict. Joost is absolutely on the right track: what changed between when it worked and when it quit working? This should be a clue. Also, before pinging it from another host, make sure that ifconfig returns good info for eth0 and that it can ping itself at eth0's TCP/IP address--if either of these fail then you already know it's not talking. One standard trouble-shooting technique for PCI devices is to swap the cards into different slots. HTH, Paul

On Thu, Jul 19, 2001 at 01:11:39PM -0700, Mike Fedyk wrote: I thought that ReiserFS does journal the file contents. Can someone point us to some docs that say for sure? It is in the Reiser FAQ, iirc. I had to recently decide between XFS, Reiser, or EXT3. I've been using EXT3 for a few months now without any problems and it is by far the easiest filesystem to use if you're currently using EXT2. The ability to switch back and forth between EXT3 and EXT2 almost on the fly is nice. However, I wanted a filesystem with the ability to be expanded while it was still mounted. This doesn't seem to be an option with EXT3 so I decided to look at the other journaling filesystems. Both XFS and Reiser allows expansion while they are still mounted. However, theres no way to shrink an XFS filesystem, mounted or otherwise, other than the traditional way of backup/recreate/restore. Reiser filesystems, on the other hand, can be shrunk (though you need to unmount the filesystem before you can shrink it). So I decided to go with Reiser and so far I haven't encountered a whole lot of problems. Except one. Doing a gzip -r on a directory thats on a Reiser filesystem can return a non-zero error code which can break some Debian source package makefiles (which tries to run a gzip -r on documentation and man page directories before it deb-ifies the package). I looked at the gzip source and apparently this is a bug with the algorithm gzip uses to recurse directories, and not a bug with Reiser (which was what I originally thought). A simple hack to gzip to not return a non-zero error code if the -r is specified on the command line was the quick-n-dirty fix for this. - Arcadio
Slackware and Debian on the same network--security problems?

I'm currently working on a system that runs a lot of Slackware boxes, but I'd like to move over to Debian (for what, I assume, are obvious reasons = ). I've noticed, however, that the passwd and group files for the Slackware system we're currently running are substantially different from those that Debian sets up. In particular, I'm a little worried because the 'user' group number on one is the same as a fairly priveleged group on the other. I'm concerned that this might pose a security threat if we tried a gradual change over--that is, that some one could get on in the 'user' group on, say, the Slackware boxes, and then have access to stuff in the more privileged group on the Debian boxes--either locally, or via NFS, or something. Is this a valid concern? If so, how do I address it? I was hoping to simply substitute in the Slackware group and passwd files for the ones Debian uses right from the start (though it would be nice to not have to worry about this kind of a legacy issue--oh, well, huh?), so that Debian would just install with the same group and user id's as our Slackware system has set up. But I can't seem to find where the original Debian passwd and group files come from--they're just sort of 'there', as soon as you start installing, almost, it seems. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated--as well as any other security or other problems that you would think might arise during such a procedure. Thanks! --Daniel

This behavior is dictated by your /etc/fstab. ext2fs filesystems will fsck on some count of mounts (with appropriate mount options). By specifying 'reiserfs' as the filesystem type, which is necessary to mount the reiserfs filesystem(s), you'll avoid this behavior. Compare, e.g.: vfat, minix, iso9660, and other filesystem types, which don't run automatic filesystem checks on mount counts. e2fsck on a non-ext2fs filesystem will exit with errors, no harm done (not sure in case of ext3fs).

Re: nVidia users help needed
Question: I have a RIVATNT2 card with 32Megs RAM, and I tried for the first time to use 3d graphics acceleration. It sort of works, but: a) I got this thick yellow (with black stripes) vertical line that appears in the bottom right hand of the screen. That's odd... I don't recognize these symptoms (I have a GeForce myself), so I can't really say what the problem is there, or what to do about it. b) GL xscreensavers all seg-fault when run full screen (but work fine when run in a Window. I have the same problem. Here's a quote from the xscreensaver FAQ: ---snip--- Try editing your .xscreensaver file and changing the memoryLimit setting to 0. Version 3.33 introduced the memoryLimit option as a precautionary limit to prevent runaway memory use if one of the display modes happened to be buggy; it prevents any program launched by xscreensaver from allocating more than that much memory. It defaults to 50M, which is a lot. However, apparently certain OpenGL libraries (notably nVidia) do something strange that makes them appear to allocate more than 128M of memory for every OpenGL program! Consequently, those programs die on startup because they aren't able to allocate memory. Turning off the memory limit should work around this. ---pins--- And from the Debain bug database: ---snip--- I can reproduce this here, but only when using nVidia's GLX libraries. Unfortunately, nVidia can't play nice with everyone else who's writing GLX implementations for Linux. So, if you really want things to work, you'll either have to convince nVidia to do something right, or download the source and compile your own. Sorry. ---pins--- Sigh... The joys of closed-source drivers... Thanks for asking, though, you got me to get off my butt and find a workaround. I tried disabling AGP, but that didn't seem to help. I reverted back to the nv driver, but the same problems still occurred (except now the cursor was also corrupt), and the only way I could fix this was by rebooting the computer. Any ideas? (oh, one more thing, what is device-3dfx? Do I need that? What does it do?) I don't recognize the name, but I'll bet anything that has something to do with 3Dfx video cards (Voodoo and its successors), in which case you certainly don't need it unless you have a 3Dfx card installed.

Re: Will my modem work?
The important question is: does the modem use a real hardware port, or is the port emulated by a special windows driver? Look in device manager in the same where COM and LPT ports are. If you can find a COM3 there (maybe, some windrivers emulate good), look at its properties. If it is using default IO and IRQ settings (IRQ=4, IO=2e8 or 3e8), then you are lucky, otherwise it is only a software-emulated interface and you are out of luck. Well. When I checked in the Device Manager- Ports (COM LPT) section I see only COM1, COM2, LPT1. So I guess I am out of luck. :-( What I have is, what are called, a winmodem afterall! Psst. Thank you for the response. Sincerely, anna

I had to install Auctex 10 to get it working it at all. It appears that I have to turn on global font lock exlicitly. ;;Turn on global font lock mode (global-font-lock-mode 1) I was a bit confused by the fact that emacs already thinks it is turned on. When I was starting it up previously, and doing Mx global-font-lock-mode, it was toggling it off. Also in the options menu bar, it was listed as on. This might count as a bug. Does anyone have opinions as to whether I should report it or not? It doesn't seem like a very sbutle one, if it *is* a bug. 2) It can't find the info dir.

It is unlikely that someone else who is reading this is using ESS, R and emacs 21, but I thought it worth mentioning. I probably need to take this to the ESS mailing list. This still seems to be a problem. I will have to address this to the specific forum, I think. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha.
Re: reiserfs question
I plan to try the reiserfs, but an curious about the fsck. In particular, about when it runs after so many boots. Do I have to disable this somehow. I suspect a e2fsck on a reiserfs would be bad. tune2fs -i 0 -C 0 is what u need. I read this on the ext3 patch page but I've got questions about it... - Should that command be in a startup script ?? If so, use /etc/rc.boot ?? - Is there a permanent config file this could be spec'd in ?? I've ran the command and it reported that it work (cycle count set to 0, etc) but I have a feeling that after a reboot, it will be forgotten. Is that correct ?? Regards Hall PS I believe the -C above should be lower-case, as in -c. At least that's what the patch page showed... maybe they're equivalents.

Re: forcing a pci nic to use a different irq?
Sorry, I'm joining this conversation a little late so forgive me if this has already been said... Is your ethernet card an ISA one? If so there should be an configuration application that will let you move it to a different irq. Otherwise in your BIOS somewhere there should be a setting to assign irqs to individual PCI slots from which you can give each slot it's own irq. The card in that slot will use that irq of course. Irq sharing is possible though. My interrupt table looks like the following and I have no problems: CPU0 CPU1 0: 11296449 11304831IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 0 2IO-APIC-edge keyboard 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 3:76823767694587IO-APIC-edge eth0 8: 2 0IO-APIC-edge rtc 9:47665034764709 IO-APIC-level advansys, aic7xxx, eth1 10: 5842 5890 IO-APIC-level advansys, aic7xxx 11: 18862 18793 IO-APIC-level advansys 12: 4 3 IO-APIC-level advansys 13: 1 0 XT-PIC fpu 14: 183701 180103IO-APIC-edge ide0 15:20034232014463IO-APIC-edge ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 ttyl, james Paul Mackinney wrote: Matthew Garman muttered: According to the Ethernet HOWTO, the most common cause of this problem is an IRQ conflict.

I'm not an expert on IRQs, but my (vague!) understanding is that it's actually the PCI controller that uses the IRQ, so if these devices are on the same bus, it doesn't necessarily indicate a conflict. Joost is absolutely on the right track: what changed between when it worked and when it quit working? This should be a clue. Also, before pinging it from another host, make sure that ifconfig returns good info for eth0 and that it can ping itself at eth0's TCP/IP address--if either of these fail then you already know it's not talking. One standard trouble-shooting technique for PCI devices is to swap the cards into different slots.
