------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-02 10:47 ------- This bug seems to be a copy of 115, and may be related to 892 and who knows others. I tracked the problem down to ACPI being enabled in the latest kernels. (and not APIC like cybercfo says, that is, in my case). I downloaded the latest kernel source 2.4.21pre4-1mdk, compiled it with ACPI enabled & then without it. If ACPI was off, eth0 worked just fine. With APIC enabled like Jure Repinc says, the errors are gone, but eth0 just doesn't work. I just found out how to disable ACPI at runtime, didn't test it however: add "acpi=off" to the kernel prompt. this can be helpfull as a quick fix. I have an Asus P5-A motherboard with ALI15X3 chipset. some extra info when booted with that ACPI kernel : remark how ACPI is doing some stuff with IRQ 10 (the IRQ of my network card !) ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing ACPI: System [ACPI] (supports S0 S1 S5) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 *11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 *7 9 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] (IRQs 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15, disabled) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] (IRQs 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15, disabled) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKE] (IRQs 1 3 4 5 6 7 *9 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (00:00) PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] PCI: Probing PCI hardware ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 10 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] enabled at IRQ 5 eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x210, 10baseT port, address 00 60 97 bd 22 52, IRQ 10. 3c509.c:1.19 16Oct2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html eth0: Setting 3c5x9/3c5x9B half-duplex mode if_port: 0, sw_info: 3f21 eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. ifstatus -v eth0 gives me : eth0: SIOCETHTOOL: link beat detected SIOGGMIIPHY failed (Operation not supported) SIOCDEVPRIVATE failed (Operation not supported) (but this is exactly what I get without ACPI & working network) other info : see my previous comment. Maybe someone how is on the kernel mailinglist could post this there ? Dominique De Munck ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I did an expert install of Mandrake-Linux 9.0 beta3 after downloading the iso's, verifying the md5sums, and burning them on 700MB CD-RW's. When the system tries to bring up eth0 on bootup, it complains that it can't find the information for it and asks me to check that the link, cable, etc. are OK. I have a computer running OpenBSD as a firewall between my ISP and my internal network. My internal network is 192.168.0.X. OpenBSD is running a DHCP server and has worked properly in the past with other Linux distros (LM 9.0beta2 as of yesterday). If I then manually configure the NIC to a static IP, manually fill in the DNS nameservers of my IP provider, add the default route to my firewall which is the gateway, networking works to the extent that I am able to run Konqueror and browse the internet. I haven't tried anything else (e.g. samba). As I say, four days before, I had installed LM beta2 and this functionality worked fine.
