Hi everyone, I have following problem, which is driving me nuts: Due to software compatibilty I have to install RH7.3 on my cluster-nodes. The nodes are P4 2,8GHz (FSB 800) on Asus P4C-800-Deluxe, which has an onboard Intel 82547EI CSA-GigE-Controller, which should work fine with the e1000 - module of the 2.4.20+ kernels. So I installed 7.3 on the local harddisk using a 3com-NIC and upgraded to kernel 2.4.20-20.7smp over rhn. Nevertheless I can't use the CSA network, although the driver module loads fine and even recognizes the 100Mbs - connection, I use for testing. All I get is "WATCHDOG NETDEV: eth0 timed out" in /var/log/messages, followed by a reestablishing of the link, followed by above error message and so on, as long as I try to ping. I tried kernel 2.4.22 as well as compiling the newest drivers from both the Asus and the intel homepages, with same result. Using SuSE 9.0 I experience different problems (high processor load) but the network works fine. Disabling acpi with acpi=off as kernel option has no effect, the acpi is turned on anyway, regarding to dmesg. Turning off apic in BIOS or using a UP-kernel => same effect. I am running out of ideas, somebody out there who can make a guess, whould greatly appreciate that.
