SuSE 8.2 and IRQ problem
Hey Group: I have been working on a system that will not DHCP to the internet. This has been tracked to a IRQ problem between alsa VIA8233 and eth0 RTL8139too. Likely this is a problem with Plug and Play. At bootup the message shows up a error similar to eth0 (DHCPD) . . . . . . . . . . . - timed out - backgrounding. A check of ifconfig shows a valid DHCP IP# for eth0. Callup a browser or lynx - and use either a IP# or URL and it fails. A check of "routes" shows no gateway and no dns entry in /etc/resolv.conf. Using KNOPPIX 3.2 worked and SuSE 8.2 failed. I even reloaded to confirm it was not a bad load or dependence problem. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP-ULTRA with VIA 8233 (sound), VIA 8255 (USB) and RTL8139BL (ethernet) chips. SuSE sets both VIA 8233 and RTL8139 on IRQ 10. Knoppix set them on different IRQs and works. Knoppix puts the RTL8139 on IRQ 18. We have tried /etc/init.d/alsasound stop and then /etc/init.d/network stop then /etc/init.d/network start. Still the error message and failure. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

Post your /etc/resolv.conf. Major clue there. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://Wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

how did you track to that?

What is KNOPPIX? Have you tried removing the sound (since it is on board I guess you can disable in bios)? Maybe I am not the expert but this is what I would do in such a case. I had a problem with installing SuSE 8.0 and I was able to track it down by removing cards. Damon Register

It's a bootable cd linux system, which is very configurable. People take the various knoppix templates and can make their own custom version. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
Thnks for the reply As I remember it was not showing any nameserver info. I/we edited it and set the correct nameserver IP#s. I know this because I missed typed nameserver and had to correct it. Does not work correctly when spelled "namserver" Patrick Shanahan wrote:
