Hi, I have a computer with 3 ethernet ports with different IRQ and connects to PCI bus... I attempt this tests.... Can you help me with SuSE configuration? Thank You Javier. --------- Test1 --------- SO: SuSE 10.0 The system detects the 3 Ethernet interfaces in the installation. (see bootlog1.txt) After 1st reboot the system only detects the leastest 2 (sorted by MAC) interfaces. (see bootlog2.txt) Each interface have assotitiated an IP, but when we do a 'ping command' to this 2 IP's, only response in 1 RJ45 port. We assotiate: RJ45_1 -- MAC1 --> IP1 RJ45_2 -- MAC2 --> IP2 RJ45_3 -- MAC3 --> IP3 (this interface SuSe10.0 not detect) tests: ping IP1 - cable connects to RJ45_1 ----> Not response ping IP2 - cable connects to RJ45_1 ----> Not response ping IP2 - cable connects to RJ45_2 ----> Response ping IP1 - cable connects to RJ45_2 ----> Response ------- Test2 ---------- SO: RedHat 7.2 The system detects the 3 Ethernet interfaces ever. The system respond to 'ping command' in each RJ45 port assotiated with his IP. ping IP1 - cable connects to RJ45_1 ----> Response ping IP2 - cable connects to RJ45_2 ----> Response ping IP3 - cable connects to RJ45_3 ----> Response *********************** ******** bootlog1: Initializing random number generatordone <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/resmgrd) [ /sbin/resmgrd ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=160 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin vga=0x31a RUNLEVEL=3 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG= PREVLEVEL=N LINES=64 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 splash=silent SPLASH=no ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hdc2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/resmgrd ] Starting resource managerdone lo lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 done eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:af eth0 IP address: 172.31.202.251/24 done eth1 device: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) eth1 configuration: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b0 eth1 IP address: 172.31.202.252/24 done eth2 device: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) eth2 configuration: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b1 eth2 IP address: 172.31.202.250/24 doneSetting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .done <notice>killproc: kill(4233,15) ************ bootlog2: Setting up network interfaces: lo lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 doneWaiting for mandatory devices: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:af eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b0 eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b1 18 eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:af eth0 IP address: 172.31.202.251/24 done<notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/resmgrd) [ /sbin/resmgrd ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=160 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin vga=0x31a RUNLEVEL=3 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG= PREVLEVEL=N LINES=64 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 splash=silent SPLASH=no ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hdc2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/resmgrd ] Starting resource managerdone Initializing random number generatordone eth1 device: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) eth1 configuration: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b0 eth1 IP address: 172.31.202.252/24 doneWaiting for mandatory devices: eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b1 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 eth-id-00:30:64:03:2a:b1 No interface found failedSetting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .failed Starting syslog services<notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/syslog-ng) [ /sbin/syslog-ng ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=160 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin vga=0x31a RUNLEVEL=3 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG= PREVLEVEL=N LINES=64 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 splash=silent SPLASH=no ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hdc2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/syslog-ng ] <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/klogd) [ /sbin/klogd -c 1 -x -x ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=160 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin vga=0x31a RUNLEVEL=3 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG= PREVLEVEL=N LINES=64 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 splash=silent SPLASH=no ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hdc2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/klogd ] done <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/portmap) [ /sbin/portmap ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=160 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin vga=0x31a RUNLEVEL=3 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG= PREVLEVEL=N LINES=64 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 splash=silent SPLASH=no ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hdc2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/portmap ] Starting RPC portmap daemondone Importing Net File System (NFS)unused Starting nfsboot (sm-notify) done
