Hello everyone, I have two interfaces on my RH6.0 linux box. A ppp0 interface and an eth0 interface. When I boot-up the system I get the following in /var/log/messages and when I check the routing table I find ppp0 is up but eth0 is down: ----------------- Jun 9 15:42:34 linux network: Bringing up interface lo succeeded Jun 9 15:42:35 linux ifup: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory Jun 9 15:42:35 linux ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is down Jun 9 15:42:36 linux network: Bringing up interface eth0 succeeded Jun 9 15:42:36 linux network: Bringing up interface ppp0 succeeded ----------------- I thought this was a memory problem so I increased the RAM but that did not help. If I try to bring up the interface using ifconfig I get the same message - Cannot allocate memory!. Funny thing is that this message comes up most of the time but sometimes the message does not come and the eth0 interface works fine. I did a /proc/meminfo and get the following: total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 13778944 13365248 413696 13135872 311296 5890048 Swap: 68087808 5308416 62779392 MemTotal: 13456 kB MemFree: 404 kB MemShared: 12828 kB Buffers: 304 kB Cached: 5752 kB SwapTotal: 66492 kB SwapFree: 61308 kB ---------------------- So here are my questions: 1. Can anyone tell me what these error message mean and how to fix it ? 2. Why does the meminfo not show my 64M RAM ? This has been going on for several weeks so I would really appreciate any help. I use a Realtek ethernet card. Thanks and regards Rajiv - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
