Linux Ethernet Initialization

Linux Ethernet Initialization

Post by Len Hard » Sat, 03 Oct 1998 04:00:00



I have installed the latest release of RedHat and my NE2000 clone was
recognized fine at installation time.  When I boot, I receive a message
indicating "Ethernet initialization delayed", and the card is not
recognized.  Any ideas on how to proceed?

Regards, Len

I'm new as well but I've been having the same problem so here's how I fixed
it.

at a commnad command prompt type:
lsmod
You will probably see
Module Pages .... but nothing underneath

if so .. no cd to /lib/modules/2.03 whatever/net/
insmod 8930
insmod ne io=0x300 irq=10

that should load your ethernet moduele
now type
ifconfing eth0 #.#.#.# netmask 255.255.255.0 up
and type
ifconfig
and your ethernet card should be working.

 
 
 

1. eth0 and eth1 "Delaying eth0 Initialization" and "Delaying eth1 Initialization" errors

Hello, I am a linux newbie, and have run into a problem.

I am using RH 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2.  I built a new kernel (to be used for
firewall purposes).  The kernel built fine and it booted successfully except
that with both eth0 and eth1, the errors "Delaying eth0 Initialization" and
"Delaying eth0 Initialization" come up.  I did not have this problem with
the original kernel.

Both NICs are Linksys LNE100TXs using the 169 chip.  The ipcfg-eth0 and 1
are set to activate on boot.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Alan
