:Hi Bas, : :> I use Linux kernel 2.0.36 and 2.1.132 on a dual PPro@200 with a Tyan board. :> I have a PCI RTL8139-based NIC and it locks up the computer under heavy :> traffic. :> One suggestion I learned from Paul Gortmakers page, was to have the card :> inserted to a bus master slot. :> My NIC card is in PCI slot 1, so that should be OK. :> Does anyone know about this problem? : :In my PPro system (200 MHz too) the Realtek 8139 works very fine. :No breakdown nothing... The thing that surprise me is the fact that :you have a PPro where a PCI slot should not have bus master :capability... : No, I think that all slots have BM capability. So it should not make any difference in which slot I put that card.
:BTW: Some time ago I had a problem with the 8029-chip of :Realtek on the same CPU (my board is a QDI). I updated my BIOS :and from then on everything went fine... Perhapes it is worth a :guess... :
It is the latest BIOS. That did make some things better, but still no BM IDE :-(
BTW. I also have an 8029-based NIC in that computer for a long time. It has always worked fine and I don't have any problems with it.
Thanks for your reply,
Bas.
