Poly,
I followed the instructions for setting my BIOS up correctly according to
the IRQ-Conflict white paper (set OS Type = Other, and turned PnP off).
Unfortunately I am still receiving errors. Also, I am using an HP 8160 PII
233. No clue what to try next. I ran the following commands and received the
following messages back:
COMMAND: dmesg | eth0
RETURNED:
bash: eth0: command not found

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
http://www.scyld.com/expert/irq-conflict.html
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.
