I'm unable to get IPv4 running correctly when using a 2.6.xSMP kernel,
but the "same" 2.6.x non-SMP kernel will allown IPv4 to function.
I have tried a short list of the basics and searched google for help, I
also posted to my local LUG and tried a few additional things.
The hardware this is happening on is;
motherboard: ECS (elitegroup) D6VAA
NIC: netgear FA311
DHCP server: Coyote Linux, has run for about two years.
Below is the posting to my local LUG, seeking help with this mater;
After a lot of off-list help from Phillip, the SMP kernel still wouldn't
allow IPv4 activity...
Thanks for all your help Phillip.
I then did a fresh install of FC2, just to see, and guess what -- nope
-- the SMP kernel still wouldn't allow IPv4 traffic, but the non-SMP
kernel worked fine.
So then I installed SuSE 9.1 PRO, same deal, the SMP kernel would not
allow IPv4 traffic.
I then tested several LiveCD's;
Knoppix 3.3 , Kernel 2.4.24-xfs #1 smp (NO)
LindowsOS 4.5.212, Kernel 2.4.24 (YES)
Morphix KDE 0.4.1, Kernel 2.4.21-xfs #13 smp (NO)
SLAX 4.0.4, Kernel 2.4.25 (YES)
The past kernel's used on the SMP box were;
RH 9, Kernel 2.4.20-31.9 (YES)
RH 9 , Kernel 2.4.20-31.9smp (YES)
FC1, Kernel 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl (YES)
FC1, Kernel 2.4.22-1.2197.nptlsmp (YES)
FC2, Kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp (NO)
FC2, Kernel 2.6.6-1.4352.2.3 (YES)
SuSE 9.1 PRO, Kernel 2.6.4-52-smp (NO)
So there seems to be some issue with the 2.6 kernel and SMP, maybe based
on my motherboard and/or NIC combination???
