 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to get a Via RhineII (VT6103 PHY) network card running - without any success so far. The motherbord is a Via Epia PD600E with dual NIC. The oher NIC (RhineIII, VT6105) is working. Neither lspci nor dmesg shows something RhineII related.
I've tried Kernel 2.6.25 and 2.6.26, tried different udev versions and modified /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules manually to include a rule for that NIC - no success!
The NIC gets recognized using the latest minimal-install CD.
Here some parts of my kernel-config:
| Code: |
--> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
<*> VIA Rhine support
[*] Use MMIO instead of PIO
[*] Use Rx Polling (NAPI)
relevant?
--> PHY Device support and infrastructure
--- PHY Device support and infrastructure
*** MII PHY device drivers ***
<M> Drivers for Marvell PHYs
<M> Drivers for Davicom PHYs
<M> Drivers for Quality Semiconductor PHYs
<M> Drivers for the Intel LXT PHYs
<M> Drivers for the Cicada PHYs
<M> Drivers for the Vitesse PHYs
<M> Drivers for SMSC PHYs
<M> Drivers for Broadcom PHYs
<M> Drivers for ICPlus PHYs
<M> Drivers for Realtek PHYs
[*] Driver for MDIO Bus/PHY emulation with fixed speed/link PHYs
<M> Support for bitbanged MDIO buses

and the output of lspci:
| Code: |

00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP]

dmesg | grep eth
| Code: |

I hope someone can help me regarding this problem. I really have no clue whats wrong with my config.
Thank you. |

Couple of things to gather more info:
Rerun with the minimal cd (or mount the iso and browse. config/grub can be found this way)
'lsmod', see if another module is loaded for it.
'uname -a' make note of the kernel version used.
'lspci' since it does work, it should show you what entry is missing.
'dmesg' do the same dmesg as you posted for the nonworking run
/proc/config.gz: I havent used this feature, but the minimal cd may have a copy of the config used there. save and have alook. if you used a version close enough, a diff on configs should show if you missed something. Does the minimal cd have /usr/src/linux-VERSION_USED? can grab the config there.
Have a look at the cd's grub options, maybe something is (de)activated there.
try "pci=noacpi" to your grub kernel line. I have had some issues with via and acpi at times.
give those a shot.

Did you get anywhere with this?
I just installed an EPIA PD6000. Running the minimal gentoo live shows both ethernet ports, but both with IRQ=11. I've seen something about this somewhere and need to look into it.
What kernel config are you using for processor? I can boot using gentoo-live, but it doesn't seem to like a C3 config
