Hi
I'm new to the linux kernel, so please be patient.
I have a P4 notebook with a via chipset and a mobile P4. In Windows XP my built in network device works without problems. In linux the device hangs a after some time of >90kB/s datatransfers. I have to completely reset my notebook to get it working again
I'm not sure if it is a hardware or a kernel problem. How can I debug this to find out if it is a kernel bug and where it is ?
I have to use pci=biosirq, otherwise the kernel warns me, that it can't change the interupts for my devcies.
At bootup the device identifies itself as via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.13 Nov-17-2001 Written by Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/via-rhine.html eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xd000, 00:40:45:07:ba:06, IRQ 11. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 0021.
When it stops working I get a lot of messages like: kernel eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 786d, resetting... kernel eth0: Reset did not complete in 10ms. Another message I quite often get is: mtrr: no more MTRRs available
I'm thankfull for any help
Kind regards Joseph Wenninger |  |
