I'm new at Linux, so go easy on me. I've just download and installed the =
Redhat distribution of Linux version 6.2 (2.2.14). Before attempting to =
compile a new module from the files on this site, I've made sure to read =
through all the archives to try and resolve the problem with the module =
supplied with Redhat. Anyway, here's what I've got. I have a Trendware =
ethernet card with the RTL8139B chip. When using either the "modprobe" =
or "insmod" commands, a message is returned, "Device or resource busy". =
I tried referencing the archives as much as possible to try all =
suggestions. I have turned off the PNP OS option in my bios and have =
also tried assigning an IRQ to the card as well as letting it =
autoconfig. Currently I have it set to IRQ 11 which does not conflict =
with any other IRQ's. Also, when I boot Windows it is indeed reported as =
IRQ 11 at IO d800.
Here are some of the contents of files that I believe are relevant:
cat /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 11 function 0:
Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16)
Vendor id=3D1. Device id=3D8139.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master =
Capable. Latency=3D32. Min Gnt=3D32.Maz Lat=3D64
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801]
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at [0xd7800000]
cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 534705 XT-PIC timer
1: 1896 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
12: 519 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 95168 XT-PIC ide0
15: 3 XT-PIC ide1
MNI: 0
I'm looking for any direction for troubleshooting this type of problem. =
I believe I have exhausted everything that I have found in the archives. =
I did at one point try to recompile the newest files found here on the =
site, but received a parsing error which I did find in your archives. =
Apparently a bug in GCC??? according to the only message I found in the =
archive regarding this type of error, I'll worry about this later if it =
comes down to to. I would first like to try and troubleshoot.=20
I tried to call Trendware before troubling anyone here, but they =
actually referred me to this website. I also tried the RedHat knowledge =
base, but consistently get "404" page errors indicating the pages can't =
be found. So any help or direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance Paul.
