A NIC for fc1_x86_64
by Gene C. 22 Dec '03

22 Dec '03

My ASUS SK8V MB has a 3Com 3C940 gigabit LAN interface on the MB. I has seen (someplace) that this was known not to work so I plugged in a Linksys NC100 (pciid=1317:0985) which uses the tulip driver. The Linksys NIC works fine under FC1-i386 (in fact it supported an NFS install). I am still having problems creating fc1_x86_64 cdroms so I installed taroon-amd64 just to have something. It also seemed to have problems with an NFS install so I copied (under fc1-i386) the iso images to the harddrive and did a harddrive install. OK, taroon-amd64 installed. Bootup and the boot messages indicate that networking was started. However, if you try and do anything (e.g., ifconfig) with the interface, that function hangs (and shutdown hangs closing out the network). There appears to be a problem with the tulip driver in 64 bit mode. 1. Does anyone know of a NIC that does work in 64 bit mode? 2. How do we go about reporting bugs for the fc1_x86_64 preview? -- Gene

I guess I have had somewhat better luck with my K8V (yeah, I sprung for the 3200+/754 pin version) with FC1. Both the std FC1 32 bit version and Justin's 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl for the x86_64 are running here quite well...no monitor issues with a ATI 9000 and a MAG LCD altho Anaconda didn't recognize it so I had to feed it H and V sync ranges. Anaconda did find the SATA controller that I had turned off as I have no SATA drives which caused some nasty messages to show up in the log but did no real harm...and removing sata_via from modules.conf cleaned up that problem. I never could get a FTP install to work (it insisted on putting in an extra \ in the url that I never could get rid of) from the boot disk but an NFS install worked perfectly once I had the directory tree on another box. The 3c2000 driver (source, at least) on the Asus site looks to be nothing other than the driver for the full range of SysKonnect cards ...it includes everything but the kitchen sink but it works ok here...it was used during the NFS install so, as I remember, the driver got installed without any further intervention by me. Davey Jones' 2.6.0 RPM does not run here though. Seems to have memory setup issues, perhaps from BIOS, as there are slab corruption errors as far as the eye can see. It is trying but...I've passed info along to experts so hopefully this issue will be looked into soon. I've heard that it does run on a Biostar board but not sure whether it was the K8T800 or the nForce 150 version...at any rate, those both use Award BIOS and since the northbridge is on the CPU, memory access should be unaffected by the chipset, so it seems that perhaps Award got things right and AMI didn't (or at least the way the developers thought they would be). I'd be interested in hearing if others have gotten 2.6 on an Athlon65/Opteron to run on AMI Bios.

Opteron System, fc1-x86_64 -- progress
by Gene C. 21 Dec '03

Based on previous messages, this is a summery of current progress: 1. the floppy is working .. I had the cable in backwards (or rather upside-down). 2. The BIOS Setup etc. at power-on now visible with the Dell Monitor connected via DVI rather than analog through the KVM switch. The ASUS/AMI BIOS must max out the video parameters rather than doing things safely. This must have been filtered by the KVM. I can live with this. Except when I need to fool with the BIOS Setup, I may switch back to using the KVM since it is more convenient. I still consider the bad video parameters an ASUS bug. 3. The Linksys NIC (tulip driver) definitely hangs Linux in 64 bit mode although it works fine in 32 bit mode. However, the onboard 3COM 3C940 gigabit ethernet NIC also works. It completely works under 32 bit Linux and will handle the nfs install under 64 bit linux (Fedora Core 1 for the amd64). Unfortunately, under 64 bit linux I get an "kernel Oops" enabling the interface. Fortunately this is not MS Windows and things went merrily along without the interface rather than getting the blue-screen-of-death. The 3C940 driver (sk98lin) must be manually selected rather than automatically detected. Overall I am getting much more happy with this box, the SK8V MB, etc. Questions -- where should I post bug reports? In bugzilla? Assigned to whom? Fedora Core but what version? -- Gene

what happened to tulip driver in kernel 2.6.0-0.1.14
by Pavel Rosenboim 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

Hi, After I installed kernel 2.6.0-0.1.14, I'm no longer able to use my Macronix MX987x5 ethernet card. It was using the tulip driver. Pavel.

ebtables/arptables support in fedora
by Pavel Rosenboim 21 Dec '03

Hi, Is arptables user-space tool planned for FC2? 2.6 kernel already has support for it, but I could not find any user-space tools in rawhide. Pavel.

kernel-2.6.0-0.1.14.i686 and...
by RaXeT 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

What in the world is the issue with every single test 2.6.0 kernel having issues with: > FATAL: keybdev not found. > FATAL: mousedev not found. Could someone please explain why they appear when the mouse and keyboard Are properly detected and everything is working just fine. I've tried editing the modprobe.conf.dist and modprobe.conf to no avail. I saw the earlier message that it doesn't matter, but still shouldn't there be a way to get rid of the annoying kernel boot messages? Also in this 2.6.0-0.1.14 there seems to be a very significant delay in the load of modules. Thanks, RaXeT

oops, with kernel 2.6.0-0.1.14
by Nathan Bryant 20 Dec '03

20 Dec '03

just a quick heads up. I decided to test this kernel and it produced an oops+panic on a shutdown that was attempted by pressing cntl-alt-del from singleuser/maintenance mode. the message was something about unable to flush buffers or unmount filesystems. upon hard reboot there was some mild fs corruption. I think I had been mounting something loopback previously, but I don't remember if it was still mounted when I hit ctrl-alt-del If I get any additional info I will try to get a proper bug report into bugzilla but the oops didn't make it to syslog.
