Hi, here I again with another problem :) Since I have installed kenel 2.4.3 & 2.4.4 (nothing went wrong with default kernel in MDK 8, 2.4.3mdk), my ethernet card is not recognized correctly.
This is my ifconfig output: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:9A:CB:62 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:437 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:70770 (69.1 Kb) TX bytes:222559 (217.3 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000
The HWaddr is correctly (I'm using 2.4.3mdk actually). But, with 2.4.3-2.4.4 this value is incorrect, and after a couple of minutes, kernel displays a message like this "Clock timer bug, may be a hardware bug VIA 686a." After reboot linux, this BIOS setup has deleted (CMOS checksum error...), and the default values reloaded.
I can't use another kernel than 2.4.3mdk.
