[Unattended] Failure to load driver for Tulip card

2004-10-22 Thread Paul Kopacz
Hi All,

I'm using the Linux boot disc.  The NIC is a DLink DE-530 with a DEC
21041-PA controller on it.  The boot disc seems to detect it, but does
not end up loading any drivers.  I've put in another card, but If
anybody has any ideas or wants me to test something with the 21041,
please let me know.

P.S.  Please CC me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I receive this
list in digest mode and won't get your response right away if you just
send it to the list.

Apologies for the long delay on this.

 Think I need to get the ne.ko driver onto the unattended CD
 though. I'm not sure how to go about rebuilding the ISO.
 
 @Pat - any chance of getting ne.ko onto the latest testing snapshot?

We can add ne.ko to the boot disk, but making it load automatically
will be hard.  In general, ISA devices do not support Plug and Play
like PCI devices do.

I suppose we could unconditionally load the NE2000 driver, but I am
not even sure that will work right on all systems...  So I am
reluctant to add something like this.

It would be better if Bochs could emulate a PCI network card (like
VMware does).

Re: [Unattended] Failure to load driver for Tulip card

2004-10-22 Thread Paul Kopacz
Only the pertinent bits:
Next, we'll look for PCI Ethernet hardware...
Looking for PCI devices of class 0x020 (mask 0x00)
00:09.0 Class 0200: 1011:0014 (rev 21)
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 
[Tulip Pass 3] (rev 21)
*** And I suppose we may as well look for PCMCIA devices...
cardmgr[303]: no sockets found!
*** Now that we have loaded the modules (maybe), let's try DHCP...
*** eth0 not found
*** eth1 not found
*** eth2 not found
Failed to obtain DHCP lease

Then I get dropped to the shell.  lsmod shows only the usb drivers.
Thanks,
Paul

I do not know what you mean.  Our boot disk detects a card if and only
if it loads a driver.
What are you seeing on the screen, exactly?
