Has anyone run into anything like this?
I installed a Lynksys LNE100TX network card on a Packard Bell Legend 300
running an older Pentium. If I run Windows 95, the card works perfectly.
When I run Red Hat Lynux 7.0 with the netdrivers-3.0-1.src.rpm installed I
get the following errors after the network starts.
eth0: PCI Fatal Bus Error FC66E010
eth0: PCI Fatal Bus Error FC67E014
eth0: PCI Fatal Bus Error FC27E014
According to the Tulip chip documentation, the code is the contents of CSR5
and indicates a parity error. The errors do not appear to have any
correlation to network traffic.
I have included the output of various diagnostics below. I'm not sure why,
but the ifconfig command reports the card's base address a 0xEC00 while
everything else correctly reports it at 0xFC00. I am able to access the
network with this error occurring.
The following is the output of the ifconfig command:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:5E:43:A8

The following is the hardware definition at /proc/pci:
