Description Wayne Carruthers 2005-06-26 19:12:07 UTC
Installing clean from 2005.0 CD the install runs & initially finds LAN Card but
later initialising LAN card with DHCP fails

Error message seen on screen early in install indicates the interrupt is
unallocated & "no one cares"

Install from 2004.1 & .2 works fine on this system as does Fedora 3 but Fedora 4
fails attempting to configure USB

Suspect problem is in handling the VIA P4M266A chipset or interrupt allocation
on this Mobo

Not sure what further information I can provide to resolve the issue for the new
2005.1 release CD but would be pleased to assist



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install from CD
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
System operational after reboot but no LAN

Please attach the output of "lspci -vv" and "lspci -n" t this report and I'll
see what I can do to get this working in time.

As well as the lspci outputs,

when booting from live cd for install, lan card is detected, dhcp fails, but
card active, ip No can be assigned manually & output of ifconfig & a ping below

As you can see incoming packets dropped, I tried to capture a ping to yahoo
but could not save to a file, output said interrupt 11 no one cared &
deactivated it 

Hope all of the above helps

Oh, is a working multiboot test system with fc3/4, windows & used to have gentoo
from a 2004.2 load so I know LAN is ok
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 12:57:14 UTC
Can you try a 2005.1 CD, since we used a new kernel, it might have resolved this
issue?
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-03 11:37:02 UTC
Feel free to REOPEN this if 2005.1 did not resolve the issue for you.
