forcedeth module doesn't load on my new gentoo-2005.1-1 distro with kernel 2.6.14-r2 it could possibly be caused by misconfigured kernel, but as I haven't found the bug neither in the bugzilla nor with google and I was compiling the kernel for first time in my life, this seemed like a good place to write ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the system 2. 3. Actual Results: forcedeth didn't load -> network didn't work sorry, but as i am currently in the text-browser, i have no means of pasting following was hand-rewritten: # grep forcedeth /var/log/dmesg forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.41. forcedeth: Couldn't find register window for device 0000:00:0a.0. forcedeth: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -22
Please post "emerge --info" output to every bug that you file, like the form suggests. Please attach entire dmesg output and "lspci -v" output
Hi, thanks for reply. I have done some more investigation and found out that something was wrong with ACPI. When I turned it off and recompiled the kernel, network worked all right. So the issue really was just the badly configured kernel. Still, do you think you could point me at some documentation about ACPI, because I would like to enable it again in the end? thx, bye
ACPI should work out of the box without any configuration. Many BIOS's are broken though, make sure you are running the latest.
