Positive. I was working on this box with the same IP and name with 8.2 just before I loaded 9.0rc2. I retesting network.img after failure on 9.0 and 8.2 would connect. But as I said the exact same card worked on a different motherboard (the one I am using at the moment). So this problem is in the motherboard/tulip driver combination, not the tulip driver itself. I'd look to see if their are other SiS/AMD networking complaints. If mine is the only one, I'd put my report the same place I am going to put that motherboard. Thanks, Jim Tarvid

Now that I haven't tried. I had a few ugly disk crashes on the 8.2 kernel which don't happen on the cooker kernel and I have little desire to revisit those. I suspect UDMA failure in those cases and cannot begin to prove it. I have had one Ext3 event on the 9.0 beta1 kernel but I wrote that off to power failure. It may be that ECS motherboards deserve their reputation. I was so amazed at the performance of the SiS boards that I was taken in. Whatever perceived savings or increased performance is more than offset by the time I lose in dealing with SiS. Jim Tarvid

The network does not come up reverse name lookup on DNS failed (this succeeds on the 2002-05-09 cooker version) Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre11 (May 11, 2002) (pre10 March 8, 2002 on the version that works) Nor will it come up after a full install As I said in a later email, the tulip card works on a VIA motherboard (DFI AD70) but fails on a SiS motherboard (K7S6A). I was concerned because I have a lot ot tulips in boxes I am planning to upgrade to 9.0. I have relatively few SiS/Tulip combinations and I quietly ordered a couple of VIA motherboards to replace those if I have problems. rc1 installed on VIA/Celeron/tulip without incident. I am content to write off the K7S6A motherboard for a variety of reaons but I did run 8.2 on that board for months without incident. Jim Tarvid
