Hello,
I have found that, with my current setup, compiling an SMP kernel
breaks the ethernet driver (3c59x.c) for my card. I have a dual celeron
400 on a abit BP6 motherboard with a 3com Vortex ethernet (more hardware
information below). I am running the current debain frozen distribution.
I have just compiled 2.2.16 with and without SMP (two seperate
source trees, no patches). I have attached both config files (config-smp
and config-nosmp) and the only difference between them is that I flagged
smp in one and not the other. I have also attached the output of dmesg
from both smp and non-smp configurations.
The ethernet driver, under the smp configuration, does not give
any errors or warnings at boot. I can insmod the module fine, and even
bring up eth0 okay with ifconfig (by hand and via debian scripts). The
routes are the exact same as without SMP, but I get zero response from
anything outside of my box. No error messages either (on STDERR or
syslog).
Unfortunately, I do not know what to try next. Please let me know
what I can send the list to help figure this out (I have logged the makes
and am willing to do try any reasonable suggestions). Also, please let me
know if I am making a foolish mistake somewhere.
Thank you for your time,
--Will Gladstone
