Hi
 
I'm new to the linux kernel, so please be patient.
 
I have a P4 notebook with a via chipset and a mobile P4. In Windows XP my
built in network device works without problems. In linux the device hangs a
after some time of >90kB/s datatransfers. I have to completely reset my
notebook to get it working again
 
I'm not sure if it is a hardware or a kernel problem. How can I debug this
to find out if it is a kernel bug and where it is ?
 
I have to use pci=biosirq, otherwise the kernel warns me, that it can't
change the interupts for my devcies.
 
 
At bootup the device identifies itself as
via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.13 Nov-17-2001 Written by Donald Becker
  http://www.scyld.com/network/via-rhine.html
eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xd000, 00:40:45:07:ba:06, IRQ 11.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 0021.
 
When it stops working I get a lot of messages like:
kernel eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 786d, resetting...
kernel eth0: Reset did not complete in 10ms.
 
Another message I quite often get is:
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
 
 
I'm thankfull for any help
 
Kind regards
Joseph Wenninger
