 |
|
Hi
Server based on a Asus P5VD2-MX mainboard, with VIA8237A chipset and VIA Rhine-II onboard network interface.
I've been in trouble a few days with kernel compilation and network access.
"Brief" description below :
Step 1 : booting with LiveCD 2006.1
I can't connect to gentoo website... Hmm, so I can't download any stage... Not very useful
# ifconfig : no problem
# wget serverinlocalnetwork : no problem
# wget www.google.fr : no problem
# wget www.yahoo.com : doesn't work, waiting for timeout and retrying...
Same with www.gentoo.org
And mirrorselect -o -i hangs up !
I added a Realtek network card : same troubles...
Step 2 : now booting with LiveCD 2006.0
No problem connecting to any website, then I compile a kernel 2.6.18-r2 with via-rhine module built-in.
Reboot, and... same problems than with LiveCD 2006.1... can't connect to some website (and emerge doesn't work).
In despite, I try to compile a kernel 2.6.16-r13...
And... It works... At least internet access really works...
May I miss something in the kernel compilation ? Is this VIA based mainboard  not supported by kernel 2.6.18 ?
Hope it helps someone with same troubles !

I have a working vt8237 VIA system with this
| Code: | | Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78) |
As well as that driver (as module) I have the via ata support in the kernel (built in). Ping other PCs/router on the lan looking for dropped packets. dmesg could have clues. |

Back to my office this morning... and I try to compile a kernel 2.6.18 with via-rhine as module.
| Code: |

Trying and retrying again...
But www.google.fr works fine !!!! But it seems to be the only one...
Nothing found in dmesg or /var/log/messages...
I ping some local PCs/servers : no packet loss...
The controller
| Code: |
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 7c) |
may be too recent ?
I'll go back to the 2.6.16 kernel wich works ; emerge wget with debug use flag to post here more information about http connection. |

Back...
I've tried to install another gentoo server with Intel Ethernet onboard controller : same troubles !!!!
Then, in the forum, I saw this solution :
some websites don't work
Fine !
Now it works... I can use a 2.6.18 kernel... 
I need to ask my provider (not a classic ISP) what about his routers...  |
