Hi, I'm looking for some help getting the XServe ethernet cards working. I'm having network card troubles. The network adapters work fine with the default kernel that installs with YDL 4.1 cd's.
I followed the instructions at http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_4.0/RAID/ to modify the kernel to support the Apple Fibre Channel PCI card. The differences are I'm using a 2.6 kernel, so the menuconfig options are a little different, there is no config.in, and I did not strip the kernel before making modules. It worked great and the RAID is seen now by the hardware browser. However, the ethernet devices are giving me strange errors. I get tg3 device not present, delaying initialization when I try to activate the interface. lspci sees the devices, and switching which interface is associated with which device makes no difference. I am using the kernel smp sources from the cd, and then using the default g5-smp config under the configs directory and not changing anything (just to test). This fails with the same error tg3 device not present. Steps to reproduce. 1. Install G5-smp kernel source from 4.1 cd's after installing 4.1 on an XServe G5 2. Run cp /usr/src/kernel-src-g5-smp/configs/g5-smpconfig /usr/src/kernel-src-g5-smp/.config 3. make vmlinux 4. make modules 5. cp vmlinux and System.map to corresponding /boot files and reboot with this kernel Network cards not recognized. What config option could I try? Any ideas?? Thanks alot.
