Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 It looks like you aren't even getting an IRQ. Here's mine as an example: 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 1000Base? (rev 12) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 80eb Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 4 Memory at e5800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) I/O ports at d800 Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data and my /proc/interrupts is misleading, because it shows a different module name: 4: 305311 XT-PIC SysKonnect SK-98xx but it is right because the 3c2000 is based on the sk-98xx. I could be that you need to download an updated driver from the asus site and try it. I think this is it: http://www.asus.com/support/download/selec...16b.zip~zaqwedc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrt Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 the problem with this is that that file only has code for kernels 2.4.18 and 19... I'm using 2.4.22... shoudl I just try to compile the 2.4.19 version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 If there are no preexisting *.o in the download, it should still work if you follow the instructions. But right now I'm stumped. Someone else may have to come to the rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrt Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 hehe, it's okay. I checked the revision of the source code for kernel 2.4.19 and it's the same version as the one that came with the kernel-source. so that means those files are no different from the compiles .o I have already. But you were correct to assume that there is no *.o in the downloaded file. Hehe well thanks Steve!! Thanks for helping me out!! It taught me quite a bit of how this system works! Thanks for all your time and effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Maybe I'm wrong about how you are supposed to answer the Plug n Play question in the BIOS. It's never been real clear to me. I think you want to make sure that the BIOS knows you have a Plug n Play OS, so the BIOS doesn't try to assign IRQs for you, but I could have it backwards.

Guest mrt Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 steve you're a magician!! that's amazing!! it works! I turned off PnP hehe and it works!! So I was wondering, do you know how to change my bootloader so that it'll boot into linux instead of linux-secure. Also I'm using grub right now, so should I change that to lilo? I changed to grub because a found a forum discussion somewhere that said someone fix their X login problems by changing the bootloader. eh...I'm impartial to which one I use. So what's the difference between linux and linux-secure or all the other ones? Is there a way to make nvidia's module to load automatically without me having to type modprobe nvidia everytime?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 steve you're a magician!! that's amazing!! it works! I turned off PnP hehe and it works!! I guess I do have it backwards. Wonder why mine works ok....hmmmm So I was wondering, do you know how to change my bootloader so that it'll boot into linux instead of linux-secure. Also I'm using grub right now, so should I change that to lilo? I changed to grub because a found a forum discussion somewhere that said someone fix their X login problems by changing the bootloader. eh...I'm impartial to which one I use. Some people like grub because it is easier to recover, but I only know how to edit lilo, cuz that's the only one I've ever used. You can edit /etc/lilo.conf and somewhere near the top there is a line that says which one is default. Change it, save the file and run: lilo -v in a terminal as root. as for grub, I think the file is in /boot....something like grub.menulst or something. You just edit it and it save it. It should be real abvious how to change the default. You can also do either one of these graphically, through mcc->boot configuration So what's the difference between linux and linux-secure or all the other ones? The only difference is the options passed to the kernel in the "append=" line. Look at the grub.menulst or /etc/lilo.conf and you'll see. linux-secure might be different, though. I'm guessing your problem with X in linux-secure is possibly that linux-secure will never allow X to run, but I have no clue, really. Is there a way to make nvidia's module to load automatically without me having to type modprobe nvidia everytime? That's what the alias in /etc/modules.conf is supposed to do. Did you check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and make sure the driver listed for your device is "nvidia" and not "nv"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Try adding alias char-major-195 nvidia to /etc/modules.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
