| |
I am having some strange networking problems with Linux 2.0. This is on a new install of RedHat 3.0.3 with all recommended updates. The machine is an ACER pentium 120, 16 megs ram, 1.2 gig ide drive, idecd, and tulip-based ethernet board (using tulip driver). (the net-board is actually an asante Asante-nic PCI board). Here's what happens: boot up Linux machine try to telnet in from SGI: no response from linux machine telnet from linux machine to SGI: works fine telnet from SGI to linux machine: works fine
this is especially a problem as I am setting up this machine as an appletalk server using netatalk, and I need the ethernet to work properly. This problem has not manifested itself in other situations, and i am wondering if this is a tulip problem or a problem when appletalk is compiled into the kernel? my config.in is as follows: (make that .config.... still thinking old kernels)
CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y CONFIG_M586=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_NO_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY=y CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y CONFIG_ATALK=y CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_NET_EISA=y CONFIG_DEC_ELCP=y CONFIG_MINIX_FS=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y CONFIG_FAT_FS=y CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS=y CONFIG_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_NFS_FS=y CONFIG_SMB_FS=y CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y CONFIG_SERIAL=y CONFIG_PRINTER=y CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y CONFIG_RTC=y
and everything else is disabled (nothing is configured as a module). i believe this to be a serious kernel bug in either the tulip or tcpip code and it really needs to be fixed before 2.0
