Re: Very strange Marvell/Yukon Gigabit NIC networking problems
Hi all, I have "fixed" the problem in a very wierd way.Reading your post I thought maybe when removing the driver itself it set some bit incorrectly. Then I decided to do: Boot with init=/bin/bash so bypass all other things. modprobe skge run ifconfig eth0 ip_num up ping a host then while pinging hit Ctrl+Alt+Del key to hot reboot the system. I still see the light at the hub lits. Now I boot to winXP and as I expected , it worked! No I boot 2.6.11 and it worked, so the problem resolve but I am to scared to run 2613 now :-) Hope this information helps debuging the driver. Thanks.

Very strange Marvell/Yukon Gigabit NIC networking problems
Hi all, Ok it sound wierd enough to assume that the latest kernel 2.6.13 ethernet driver has done something wrong with the NIC and sustain the condition after reboot or turn off the machine. Here is my configuration. Laptop Asus A4500d. dmesg shows: eth0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter It is working as normal with 2.6.12 and winXP before. Today I did upgrade the kernel to 2.6.13 and it still works. The problem is now I switch to the older kernel that is 2.6.12.5 and .6 it no longer works. dmesg shows like this: eth0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State Boot window XP now, and the link always shows that media disconnected. So the NIC is unuseable with WinXP, 2.6.12 __but__ still works with 2.6.13. and power off the machine does not restore the NIC. Now of course I am forced to use not only linux but version 2.6.13 :-) in order to have the NIC working! Unfortuneately the HSF module with 2.6.13 is not working because of unresolve symbol so the modem is dead (I rarely usemodem anyway) Please help me to recover my NIC back as normal. Thank you very much indeed. If any other information is needed pls ask.

Hang with usb scanner...2.4.5-acx
HI, I got scanner epson perfection 640u. I am not sure if it is a bug or I have to do like that. Basically I have to compile scanner support as module and uhci as well. Whenever I need to scan, just turn on, modprobe ...; it is fine. When no need, remove modules and turn off. BUT if i compile built in to th kernel. the system hang in sush cases: - turn on pc, start everything, then turn on scanner - turn on scanner then turn on pc start everything, scanner works ; now turn off scanner No messages in /var/log ; just hang all key board wont work, can not login from remote, ; have to unplug the power thanks, = S.KIEU _ http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Report several problem with kernel 2.4.5-ac1 ....
Hi everyone.. 1. I got the kernel hang when I tried to run pppd without any argument on the console (tty1 or tty2...); just try to run pppd Sorry I can not copy all text here but this problem is re-producible and wont happen if I run on pts/1 (for example on xterm or rxvt ) pppd version 2.4.x kernel 2.4.5-ac1 Debian 2.2.r3 with support for running kernel 2.4.x (means every utilities is Ok) i486 100Mhz 35Mb RAM all kernel compile with gcc 2.95.2 2. Another thing I noticed is 2.4.5-ac1 uses more swap than 2.4.4 in the same situation and in my machine, performance is a bit worse than 2.4.4 (have not test with 2.4.5). 3. In parport_pc.c the error: parport_pc_find_ports 2618 too many arguments to function parport_pc_init_superio when compiling modules IF YOU DONT ENABLE PCI support in the kernel config. From 2.4.4-pre6 up (not sure exactly 6 or 5 something). First I dont know why nobody reports this problem, but later I know the reason is PCI is disabled. when trying to read the code in parport_pc.c . And unfortunately I got the rather rare machine not having PCI Bus... so from that on I have to select PCI even I dont have PCI system. Thanks, _ http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
