When I boot my machine with any kernel from 2.3.99pre4 to 2.3.99pre6, I
get the following driver message at bootup :
eth0: 3c509 at 0x300, 10baseT port, address 00 10 4b 1e a9 2f, IRQ 10.
Which is the same message as the one I get when booting with 2.3.99pre3
(in which my problem does not appear.
However, using pre[4-6], my machine can't get an IP from my DHCP server
at boot up. After looking for the problem for a while, I came upon
this interesting discrepancy :
[2.3.99pre6]
[bbehm@CERBERUS]$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 35237 XT-PIC timer
1: 1277 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 1 XT-PIC soundblaster
12: 5381 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 1533 XT-PIC ide0
15: 2346 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
[bbehm@CERBERUS]$
This is distressing because there is no IRQ 10 assigned to eth0, which
there is in 2.3.99pre3.
I've seen a lot of posts about PCI interrupt problems here, so I thought
there might be a conflict : I went into my (Award) BIOS and turned
changed IRQ 10 from "PCI/PnP ISA" to "ISA/User Defined".
My NIC is not in PnP mode.
