I've been interested in this motherboard. The onboard adapter is a 3c940
LOM (lan-on-motherboard) chipset which is supposedly a
Marvell/Syskonnect work-alike
So the driver is sk98lin.o. Fedora's apparently doesn't work, can you
tell me if the vanilla 2.4.23 kernel from
kernel.org works? It seems it
has an updated sk98lin driver version.
It'd also be interesting to test the 2.6.0 rpm's from rawhide, but these
drivers might actually be older (?)
That NIC is the least of my problems (as described in the previous messages).
I first tried creating a DVD image as described in
http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html ... my DVD burner appears not to work
(or I do not know the magic to make it work). OK, so lets do a harddisk
install (it requires image(s)). Oops, that died during the install:
Traceback of the form:
usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py line 146
...
/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py line 163
missing string += "\t\t\tCD#%d\n"
integer required.
OK, so back to trying to split the discribution to make cdrom images.
To run splittree, you need to run pkgorder first and I did:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder
/home/redhat/fc1/amd64/ x86_64 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder", line 184, in ?
pkgOrder.append(hdlist[package].nevra())
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/hdrlist.py", line 390, in __getitem__
raise KeyError, "No such package %s" %(item,)
KeyError: No such package kernel-smp
Mumble, mumble ... now what? So try doing pkgorder for i386 (I have that tree
also). Running:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder
/home/redhat/fc1/i386/ i386 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt
runs ... no errors.
Anyone know what is going on?
