I am trying to install SuSE Linux 7.3 on a system with the following hardware: ASUS Mother-board CUR-DLS with: on-board LSI SCSI SYM53C896 Intel 82559 Ethernet adapter The system has two Pentium III 1 GHz and 4 GB of RAM The installation of the OS goes without problems up to the point in which the ethernet adapter is configured. No matter if I use the on-board Intel 82559 or if I mount an add-on board (3Com 3C905B) the cards are correctly recognised, but when I save the configuration I get the message: "These errors occurred during saving configuration: Device eth0 (or eth1 if I have two adapters) is not running." I have tried to install Windows 2000 on the same system and both ethernet adapters work without problems. I have searched through your data-base, looking for possible solutions to this problem, but did not find anything. Could you please help me? All I can add, is that last year I had similar problems with the installation of Linux 7.2 on another system based on the same motherboard, but could solve the problem with the add-on 3Com 3C905B. This is the outcome of hwinfo --network_ctrl 11: PCI 02.0: 0200 Ethernet controller [Created at pci.64] Unique ID: _Znp.XvTWJ6g289A Hardware Class: network Model: "Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ Server Adapter (PILA8470B)" Vendor: 8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: 1229 "82557 [Ethernet Pro 100]" SubVendor: 8086 "Intel Corporation" SubDevice: 100c "EtherExpress PRO/100+ Server Adapter (PILA8470B)" Revision: 0x08 Memory Range: 0xfe000000-???

So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. (Richard P. Feynman)
