Hi,
I have Debian potato in a IBM/Thinkpad 380ED and a PCMCIA Linksys NE2000 compatible network card. The HD has Potato in one partiton and woody in the other. The message eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! is appearing every minute, almost. Things used to work ok but I've reinstalled Debian a couple of times, so something changed. The output from ifconfig and /proc/interrupts are at the end of the mail, if it helps. This happens in both woody and potato. The partition with woody can't start the X system. After xinit (xdm seems not to come up) I get messages such as: xinit: connection refused (errno 111) xinit: no such process (errno 3) debconf: unable to initalize frontend Gnome debconf: (DISPLAY problem?) Any help is appreciated Andres --------- Here is /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 8181769 XT-PIC timer 1: 38021 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 0 XT-PIC pcnet_cs 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 12: 556520 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 5563401 XT-PIC ide0 NMI: 0 ---------- Here is the result from ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:98:88:45:3C inet addr:128.82.230.158 Bcast:128.82.231.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:624492 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:3344 TX packets:104626 errors:118 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:118 collisions:225 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:90 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:90 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
