I;v built a Debian machine from a Compaq Proliant. Uisng an Intell NIC card. Here is the relevant info from dmesg:
mtrr: detected mtrr type: Intel PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xeda47, last bus=5 PCI: Using configuration type 1 PCI: Probing PCI hardware Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 05 [IRQ] PCI: Using IRQ router ServerWorks [1166/0200] at 00:0f.0 Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:02.0 eth0: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100], 00:A0:C9:48:DD:1E, IRQ 10. Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around. Board assembly 661949-004, Physical connectors present: RJ45 Primary interface chip DP83840A PHY #1. DP83840 specific setup, setting register 23 to 8462. General self-test: passed. Serial sub-system self-test: passed. Internal registers self-test: passed. ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x49caa8d6). Receiver lock-up workaround activated. eth1: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:50:8B:E8:79:21, IRQ 11. Board assembly 010101-034, Physical connectors present: RJ45 Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1. General self-test: passed. Serial sub-system self-test: passed. Internal registers self-test: passed. ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b). When I start loading the network hevaily I get tons's of teh following messages to the console. eth0: card reports no resources. The card is pluged into a 10MB hub, not a 100MB one, could this be part of the problem? I'v ugraded to kernel 2.4.9, and still this problem persists. here some (potenitaly useful) info form ifconfig, after a few meesges ahve appearde on the console: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:48:DD:1E inet addr:170.85.109.24 Bcast:170.95.109.127 Mask:255.255.255.128 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:232951 errors:26 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1502 TX packets:130406 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:408 collisions:41084 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:297527243 (283.7 Mb) TX bytes:7157449 (6.8 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8B:E8:79:21 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 The second card was the original one in the machine, and I added teh new (first) one to try to see if it was card specic The machien is realyy unusable like this. What can I try to fix it next? -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
