Hi Walt,
I don't know if it's at all related, but I just tried building a 2.6.15.6
kernel, and all my built-in tg3 interfaces disappeared (on an AMD x86-64
system). In my case I only got the messages:
Mar 20 14:45:22 vela ifup: tg3 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
Mar 20 14:45:22 vela network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed
Mar 20 14:45:22 vela ifup: tg3 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
Mar 20 14:45:22 vela network: Bringing up interface eth1: failed
In my case I made 2 changes to my config to get working tg3 interfaces
once more. I enabled ACPI and then I enabled PCI_MMCONFIG (which was
dependent on ACPI being enabled). Perhaps enabling PCI_MMCONFIG is
the critical step, but because of the dependency on ACPI, I had to
enable it first. I've been meaning to test what would happen with
ACPI enabled but PCI_MMCONFIG disabled, but I haven't had time yet.
I believe the default for PCI_MMCONFIG is disabled, so in case it is
important, you might want to try enabling it if it isn't already enabled
in your config.
