[tulip] - Newbie - Problems with installing the tulip.o modul

[Poly]

Hi David,
Sorry the change of OS did not help.  That means you have to go through the whole IRQ conflict document.  I did that also at some point.  At first it was kind of too much at the same time, but it makes more sense now.  I wish someone can elaborate more on that document and comment on some common case.

Before you dive into that, let's say that you are facing a problem that has many layers:
1. IRQ
2. Drivers
3. Network Configuration
and it also have to be solved in that order 1,2,3.  So, you first have to focus on solving the step 1.  I hope that the IRQ conflict document will help you solve the problem (read it carefully), if it doesn't and you need more help

then type the following commands and print out the result in to this mailing list.

dmesg | eth0

cat /proc/pci

cat /proc/interrupts 
 
It might also help to know what machine you have, someone out there might have the exact same machine.  Thanks.

Poly.
