I've just received a Gateway ALR-7200 server, and I'm having two sets of problems with the built-in hardware. 1) The SCSI controller is an AIC-7890, which is not recognized by the AIC-7xxx driver. I've got information on it from /proc/pci which I can send to the maintainers of the driver, but I don't where to send it for sure. If someone could tell me, that would be great. Alternatively, if someone could tell me how to use the info to add the chip to the driver myself, that would be even better (I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of letting the AIC driver know that the 7890 is a valid chip. I could be wrong, though.) 2) The integrated ethernet controller is an Intel EtherExpress 10/100, chip number 82558B. Although the system sees this interface, it doesn't work. A standard ifconfig won't show the eth0 interface, and after a little while, I eventually get the error "eth0:transmit timed out status 0000 command 0000 eth0 trying to restart transmitter". Then the machine locks up on me. If I disable the internal interface, and plug in a regular Intel 10/100 card (same chip number), it works properly (though I did have a problem with a similar hang-up on the interface once this week). The only insight I have on this problem is that according to /proc/pci, the internal interface always gets set to the same IRQ as the video and some other things. When I plug in a non-integrated Intel card, it gets set to a different IRQ. I haven't been able to figure out a way to get the motherboard to put the integrated ethernet on a different IRQ, though, to test this theory. If anyone has any suggestions on either of these problems, I would be very grateful. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
