Hi,
I installed ASL 4.017 (up2date 4.021) to machine with
Intel 100 Mbps 82562ET on motherboard and
Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter on a PCI slot.
The setup recognized all three NICs, full names.
The WebAdmin listed two of them as
[unknown vendor / unknown chipset]
while the last had correct name-string.
The NIC with name in WebAdmin did not function,
even single ping caused the e1000 module yell
NETDEV WATCHDOG, commit suicide and resurrection.
repeatedly.
I moved the Dual Adapter to second PCI slot and now
the first of the two NIC got name in WebAdmin and the second
was "unknown". As you may guess, the one with name choke.
Apart from name, the NIC also had io=0000, and base=xx values
unlike the other two.
Then I appended 'noapic' to lilo.
Now all three NIC's are happily [unknown vendor / unknown chipset]
and work.
So it seems that APIC gets itfhw.conf confused or something.
Yours,
Jukka Lehtonen
