| |
Hello,
When I enable the Acenic network driver in combination with high memory set to 4Gb, the driver fails during boot and prints:
eth0: Firmware NOT running!
This happens with 2.4.12 as well as with 2.4.12-ac3, but 2.4.11 was working fine even with high memory enabled. With high memory disabled, the problem disappears and everything works fine.
A diff on acenic.c between 2.4.11 and 2.4.12 reveals that the acenic driver now does pci_unmap_single() calls which were previously suppressed by an #ifdef. It thus seems that these are the cause of the problem, but I don't understand how or why.
Details: dual Pentium-III with 1 Gb SDRAM. 3Com 3C985 Gigabit Ethernet, Tigon II (Rev. 6), Firmware: 12.4.11 SMP enabled in kernel.
Any ideas ?
Thanks, Joris.
