Not necessarily and in fact it would surprise me since the RC4 kernel configuration[1] doesn't have any fancy CPU optimizations set. It could be a BIOS configuration issue, something to do with the PCI bus or interrupts, etc.

At least under 2.4.17, pci-scan _is not_ a dependency for eepro100.o: $ ssh boxer cat /lib/modules/2.4.17-386/modules.dep <snip> /lib/modules/2.4.17-386/kernel/drivers/net/eepro.o: /lib/modules/2.4.17-386/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.o: /lib/modules/2.4.17-386/kernel/drivers/net/eexpress.o: </snip> I also have a two NIC IBM server using the eepro100 driver without pci-scan: firewall: -root- # lsmod | grep eepro100 eepro100 16516 2 I think insmoding pci-scan is probably just confusing things. > If I boot the same cards in an Intel based system both cards are > recognized using the eepro100 driver. Like I said, there are lots of other variables in a system swap. I wish I knew more about how the PCI bus works and what exactly to look for. If you could find a copy of lspci that is statically compiled or linked to glibc-2.0.7, that would help shed some light on the situation. (If you're really in a jam, I can probably find/compile one for you.) In the absence of lspci to see what's going on, my best advice is to look for clues in the BIOS and experiment with the cards in different PCI slots. E.g., try just one of the PCI cards in each of the available slots. That's not much, but hopefully it helps a bit. Good luck. --Brad > It would be great if I could boot Bering rc4 on the AMD system otherwise > I will be forced to mash together a RedHat system. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
