I've got a Compaq Presario SR2020NX desktop, and have installed OpenSuSE 10.2. I had to add the kernel option acpi=noirq so that it would boot up OK, otherwise it would get stuck on udev.
The problem now is that I cannot successfully assign an IP address via DHCP. Typing dhcpcd -n eth0 does not do it. After doing this, ifconfig -a shows no IP address for eth0. The ethernet hardware is built into the motherboard. Yast2 gives the following ethernet info: ethernet hardware info: Hewlett Packard Company MCP51 Ethernet Controller configuration name: eth-id-00:18:f3:37:c2:b1 hardware name: bus-pci-0000:00:14.0 module name: forcedeth bootup and syslog shows eth0 device:nVidia corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) eth0:forcedeth.c: subsystem:0103c:2a45 bound to 0000:0014.0 I thought maybe the BIOS needs updating, but the Hewlett Packard support page for the Presario SR2020NX doesn't show any. The motherboard on the Compaq Presario SR2020NX is made by ASUS, and has part number A8M2N-LA. Going to the ASUS website, there are BIOS upgrades for M2N type motherboards but not for the specific motherboard that I have. In fact, ASUS says that motherboards which they make for other companies, are not supported by ASUS. The chipset on the ASUS A8M2N-LA motherboard is GeForce 6150 LE made by NVIDIA. I was wondering if SuSE 10.2 has the latest forcedeth or if there's a newer one. Any suggestions are appreciated.
