 |
|
i tried to install gentoo on a Targa Visionary 2800+ using the install-amd64-universal-2004.1.iso. the cd boots up althought i need to boot without hotplug.
now the problem is that this notebook seems to have a kind of via rhine II installed. the gentoo boot processes didn't load an ethernet driver. i checked lspci
| Code: | | 00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74) |
and as result i did
after that i tried to set an ip address after this. this was possible and also here appeard no error. but any connection (just a ping) wasn't possible from/to this card.
dmesg said
| Code: | eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 05e1.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0003, PHY status 786d, resetting...

i can't imagine what could be the problem. it also didn't work with fedora core 2. the same problem had another one, using red hat, too. here's the url to that topic, which didn't become solved until now:

any ideas? |

ok, just found a bugzilla entry http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678 at osdl. i have exactly that problem, which should have been fixed since 2.6.0-test9.
livecd-kernel is Linux x86_64 2.6.5-gentoo-up
dmesg when inserting via-rhine into kernel:
| Code: | | eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0x1800, 00:03:25:10:e9:e0, IRQ11. |
in /proc/interrupts appear a few interrupts, but IRQ11 didn't. |

it partially works now but i *hardly* can say "solved" since the network card only works if i boot with acpi=off 
hellooooooooo... this is a notebook and acpi is buggy? |

Please try booting the smp kernel.
Looks to me like you nearly had it, in the first post. Do those steps, then ifconfig -a. If you see it, but without an IP,
dhcpcd eth0
This will set the nameserver and gateway as well.
If you don't have it in ifconfig -a, look for the module:
lsmod
and tell us the Used by. |

as i already mentioned i booted the livecd using gentoo acpi=off because of the old bug in pre-2.6.0-test9 kernels. as result i had no acpi during gentoo installation but at least the network worked. now as i already finished installing gentoo i'm running Linux x86_64 2.6.7-rc3 (with smp support) and acpi and network seem to work fine.
could it be that the patch from 2.6.0 didn't go into the livecd-gentoo kernel of 2004.1? |
