------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-03 20:56 ------- Switch off apic to do this, add the option noapic to append line in /etc/lilo.conf: append="noapic quiet ..." after that run lilo again, command as root: /sbin/lilo Linux-phased, MandrakeSoft Support P.S. I have two boxes with sis900 onboard cards and they work with standard LM 9.0 kernel and 9.1 RC1 kernel ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I installed mandrake 9.1-rc1 on a pentium4 with sis55xx chipset motherboard from Asus, and a sis900 ethernet card included in the motherboard. This machine is connetted to another PC through an ethernet cable, to make a home local network. Both Pcs have local assigned IP addresses 192.168.1.1(-> the "server") and 192.168.1.2(->the P4 with Mandrake). Apparently all devices are correctly configured and the the eth0 interface is up, as the "ifconfig" command shows. But a "ping" command on the other PC (192.168.1.1) does not give any result, it does not see the other PC. Moreover, error messages of the form "Watchdog: Network..timed out" continue to accumulate at the bottom of the "dmesg" output. At first I wondered if it was a problem of network configuration, but it is not. I tried to install and compile the official 2.4.20 kernel from the linux sources, reinstalled LILO with this kernel and rebooted and everything worked fine, I was also able to go to the internet through the other PC internet connection. Then I installed the 2.4.21pre4-6mdk sources and compiled them with the same configuration I used for 2.4.20 and again the network refused to work. So the network did not work with the "custom" 2.4.21pre4-6mdk kernel I built, neither with the precompiled 2.4.21pre4-6mdk kernel present in the distribution. Thanks for any possible solution (for now I am using the 2.4.20 kernel) Vincenzo
