hi, Yes, i feel there's some problem with the probing done by my pc' pci subsystem, I have tried other real tek cards too, also i tried this on win98 too, it does not auto detect my card either. Well if this is the problem then is there a way to correct it, my motherboard is VIB823DS(VIA) , i tried to find help on net but havent been able to. Another interesting thing is that my display card (s3virge) is also slotted in one of the pci slots, that is detected fine(works fine if i insert it into any of the 3 pci slots in my motherbaord). So what could be problem with the detection with LAN cards. They are not detected in any of the 3 pci slots. regards Amit "mandeep sandhu" <msandhu_d@hotmail.com>@nl.linux.org on 05/31/2004 10:23:54 AM Sent by: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org To: mohanlal@samsung.com, Amit Kumar Singh/HSS@HSS cc: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Re: PCI init: failure to detect device hi amit, if lspci does'nt show ur ethernet controller then there is a problem with the probing done by ur PC's PCI sub-system, cos this shud have detected ur card, and even if ur driver is not compiled/present it wud not help b'cos as far as ur PC is concerned ther's no Realtek card!!! r u sure the card is not faulty, u can try another PC/OS to acertain that. - mandeep Hi, I have tried other pci slots too. it is standard 9.0 kernel, i did not switch off any options during compilation. thanks Amit "Mandeep Singh Sandhu" <mandeep_sandhu@infosys.com> on 05/31/2004 09:58:01 AM To: Amit Kumar Singh/HSS@HSS, "Grant" <email@grantmurray.com> cc: <kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org> Subject: RE: PCI init: failure to detect device I have a LAN card with realtek 8139C and it works fine. Linux shud detect it during boot time unless u've turned of that feature off during kernel compilation! u can try another PCI slot and see if gets detected - /dev/mandeep -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org]On Behalf Of aksingh@hss.hns.com Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 8:31 AM To: Grant Cc: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Re: PCI init: failure to detect device Hi, I face a similar problem with my LAN card, I bought a realtek pci lan card, but lspci doesnt detect a ethernet controller even when i plug it into one of my pci slots, i use redhat 9.0, kernel version 2.4.20-8. Any clues ? thanks Amit Grant <email@grantmurray.com>@nl.linux.org on 05/30/2004 05:02:41 AM Sent by: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org cc: Subject: PCI init: failure to detect device My motherboard (Asus P4P800 Dlx) has an ICH5/5R controller hub that includes, amongst many other things, a Serial ATA controller. lspci fails to list the device. The "unusual" fact here is that there are no SATA disk drives connected to the SATA controller. However, I would still expect that the SATA controller would be recognized. Why is not being found by the kernel PCI initialization code that finds PCI devices? Is it because, 1: The motherboard BIOS sees no connected hard drives and "hides" it; or 2: The SATA controller chip sees no connected hard drives and "hides" itself; or 3: The kernel PCI init code sees no connected hard drives and skips it. (AFAICT the kernel is NOT doing this) or 4: something else. If there is anyone else out there, who has a SATA controller but no SATA disks, do you see the controller in lspci?
