Bug 97156 – 2005.0 on PCChips M925 MBoard LAN Card Install Fails

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[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.

Created attachment 62296 [details]
lspci outputs

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

Can you try a 2005.1 CD, since we used a new kernel, it might have resolved this
issue?

Feel free to REOPEN this if 2005.1 did not resolve the issue for you.
