IBM T30

peque · 2005-12-13 10:05:33

After installing Arch aon a IBM T30 i got the following problems.

Ifconfig:
ETH0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr : bla bla bla
inet adresse 192.168.0.70 Bcast:192.168.0.255Mask:255.255.255.0
And all the other things look normal, but in the buttom of the description of eth0 it says:
Interrupt: 11 memory:f8000000-f8000fff

And lsmod:
eepro100 30988 0
mii 5760 1 eepro100

How do I solve that problem...
As it look for me - it been modprobe the wrong place ?? and after an clean install it looks just like that again..

So be glad for an good answer

Can you clarify - is eth0 working or not? You didn't exactly say.......

Interrupt: bla memory: bla

is not a problem by itself - my desktop and server both show similar info, and they're working fine. And the mii module is loaded automatically with eepro100, so don't worry about that either.

The network isen´t working at all...
Even though I set it tp take an staic UP or dhcp..
Whenever I try to update arch icant can´t find any hosts..
and it can´t ping google or anything else..
When I ask it to take an dhcpcp the eth0 disaperes

So not net at all

Ok, first, because I'm so fond of doing it, an explaination:

Interrupt: 11 memory:f8000000-f8000fff

This little snippet does not mean that something has been interrupted - it is displaying the Interrupt number (IRQ) for that particular piece of hardware. Explainations for what an IRQ is are long and drawn out, and I'll leave that to google/wikipedia.
The memory range has to do with the memory-mapped I/O addresses. Typical PC hardware uses memory mapped IO rather than a port-based IO system, to make it easilly expandable (in a port based system, the hardware constains N IO ports, and only N - in a memory-mapped system, a chunk of memory is given over to I/O which is to be transfered to the devices via the hardware).

Anyway, if your network is not working, we're going to need the output of the following commands:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
$ ping -n 1 192.168.0.1
$ cat /etc/rc.conf

Normally the network works... I have made it dualboot - and there´s no problems with Windoze..It works normal under MS Windoze..

In resolv.conf all its un´komment.
When I ping:
ping 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)( 56(84) bytes of data
From 192.168.0.70 icmp_seq=1 Destination host ubreachable

And Rc.conf:
lo ="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.70 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
Routes=(!gateway)

And under DAOMONS there is network netfs and crond etc etc

So I havent done anything - other than for an try to make it take an direct IP adresse - but nothings along with the network works in Linux??

eth0 - error -110 reading info frame - frame dropped

That´s a message I found several times during dmesg !!
I dont know if that mean anything.

Big problem right here:

The "!" disables your gateway route - get rid of it. Presumably, it's left over from a dhcp configuration.

peque · 2005-12-14 04:51:48

I have tried that also - But it doesent change anything

phrakture · 2005-12-14 05:17:05

can you post the exact text of your rc.conf for us?

peque · 2005-12-14 05:30:55

Here it goes:

HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE=Europe/Copenhagen
KEYMAP=dk
CONSOLEFONT=
USECOLOR="yes

USELVM="no"

HOSTNAME="IBM"

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi)

lo="127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.70 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
IBTERFACES=(lo eth0 )

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pvmcia network netfs cromd )

END OF FILE.

THat should be it... I can´t se there should be a problem anything according to the machines that I have tryed to install and went well...
I´m really more suspectious about its working fine in windoze and not here ??? THat´s normally not a problem with IBM

phrakture · 2005-12-14 05:45:40

Two things:
first, you should remove hotplug from the DAEMONS array and add MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in there somewhere.

secondly, did you configure your /etc/resolv.conf? You need to do that if you're using a static IP.

As for working in Windows and not here - that is because Windows does everything for you and Arch does not.

peque · 2005-12-15 13:49:15

Got it to work....
Funny - change the cable????
Works great on other machines and during windows on that one - but not under windows ????

I can´t explain that - but that how it was ...
BUT A lot of THX to everone for beeing helpfull. Thats great ...

Hope to be good at this one day to give it back

Arch Linux
