upgraded to FC4, same behaviour also with 2.6.12-1.447smp
where to look???
Number one would be to see if the Realtek interface actually comes up - then there's a whole slew of tools like ifconfig, ping, iptraf, dhclient etc. to be used one by one to see where the problem lies.
When I asked you to provide more details, I wasn't really after motherboard and stuff like that, I was after your internet connection details of course. This is how I would describe one for example:
Maestro Woomera Serial modem connected to /dev/ttyS0 Using pppd on demand/wvdial to make a connection The IP address on that interface (ppp0) is assigned dynamically by my isp. The log shows dialling to be ok, and pppd taking over the connection once wvdial has established it. ifconfig shows an IP allocated to me ip address: 203.0.178.191 with netmask 255.255.255.0. I can ping internal addresses and external ones by name (www.microsoft.com) and number (207.46.199.60).
This is in the case of dial-up. Your trace will be different.
Really, you have provided nothing of use in diagnosing this problem. I'm assuming your modem takes care of the connection and just gives you an internal IP address which you set to the gateway? or do you need to run PPPoE or some other protocol manually?
You must assume we know nothing about your set-up when posting to this list.
Regards, Ed.
Ed,
it seems that I can't ping the Ethernet modem when using SMP kernel(destination unreachable), if I connet to ist internal webpage I get a message of no routing. I have iptables running: and everything is o.k on standard kernel!!! What is happening???
-- Antonio
Anything relevant in /var/log/messages? What is the output of route -n?
Bob...
I had a look at /var/log/messages (that I attach, only as e-mail to you...), but I am not very expert. I see a timeout transmit on eth0 repeated many times when using SMP kernel at about 6.35 at the end. I see also many errors conencted to ACPI (on both kernels) that I am not able to decode
Tnx
Antonio,
I culled the messages down into a SMP boot and a UP boot. A quick look indicates one message is missing in the SMP boot log. It's marked with an arrow and indicates that the eth0 device interrupt was detected as IRQ 11 (UP only). Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Some other information that might help:
cat /proc/interrupts for both the UP and SMP.
Also, do you have the latest BIOS installed for your motherboard? What kind of motherboard is this?
An Asus P5P800, Bios updated in July
Check the IO-APIC options in the BIOS
setup.
You might try moving the realtek NIC to another slot. That's a shot in the dark, but it's pretty early and I'm only into my first cup of coffee!

Antonio,
service iptables stop. I suspect that the IRQ for eth0 is not getting properly registered and thus the timeouts.
Does specifying acpi=ht on the SMP kernel command line make any difference? It probably defeats the purpose of SMP.

It works now, with acpi=ht. But is SMP working??
This is the output of var/log/messages, it seems that also errors on ACPI have been deletd!!! Shall I include same option in the standard kernel???

Anything relevant in /var/log/messages? What is the output of route -n?
Bob...
I had a look at /var/log/messages (that I attach, only as e-mail to you...), but I am not very expert. I see a timeout transmit on eth0 repeated many times when using SMP kernel at about 6.35 at the end. I see also many errors conencted to ACPI (on both kernels) that I am not able to decode
Tnx
Antonio,
I culled the messages down into a SMP boot and a UP boot. A quick look indicates one message is missing in the SMP boot log. It's marked with an arrow and indicates that the eth0 device interrupt was detected as IRQ 11 (UP only). Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Some other information that might help:
cat /proc/interrupts for both the UP and SMP.
Also, do you have the latest BIOS installed for your motherboard? What kind of motherboard is this?
An Asus P5P800, Bios updated in July
Check the IO-APIC options in the BIOS
setup.
You might try moving the realtek NIC to another slot. That's a shot in the dark, but it's pretty early and I'm only into my first cup of coffee!

I am wondering if the two kernels have different management of iptables, in particular IPv4 or IPv6, another shot in the dark, even if is afternoon here
tnx
Antonio,
service iptables stop. I suspect that the IRQ for eth0 is not getting properly registered and thus the timeouts.
Does specifying acpi=ht on the SMP kernel command line make any difference? It probably defeats the purpose of SMP.
Bob...
and furthermore prevents from poweroff .... :-(

Shouldn't do. In general, one doesn't need ACPI for SMP.
You probably don't, either. You can check /proc/cpuinfo: it should show two CPUs if you've got SMP working.
acpi=ht turns ACPI off for most things, but keeps enough to enable hyperthreading. It sounds like there's a bug somewhere in ACPI (probably in your motherboard support).
Stupid idea: I forget whether your Ethenet card is built-in or a physical card. If it's physically separate, try it in different PCI slots. That should get it different PCI level IRQs: the ACPI IRQ routing might work for a different PCI IRQ.
As for the poweroff, you need APM or ACPI for this to work. APM doesn't work in SMP mode (there's a line in the kernel messages you posted saying as much), and you've just turned off ACPI for nearly everything.
You will probably have turned off hibernation support and *possibly* some power-saving support when you disabled ACPI. Otherwise, you really don't need it unless you've got *really* unusual kit.[1]
James. [1] I think some Itanium servers rely on it...

I agree, I have seen many warnings saying that can't load ACPI table, etc, etc, untill I put acpi=ht, and same errors are also on standar kernel (pls. have a look to the part of /var/log/messages already posted)

It is a separate card, I will switch to a different slot, when I have some spare time, but this should not remove all warning/errors about ACPI, should it?

no idea how I could have disabled any flag to disable poweroff, any suggestion? Otherwise, you really

Um. Let me try again.
Soft power-down isn't a standard part of a PC. Linux doesn't know how to do it without APM or ACPI.
APM is out the question on SMP, due to the way it's designed.
So you need ACPI properly working for soft power-down.
You've added acpi=ht to the kernel boot flags.
This is defined as "ht -- run only enough ACPI to enable Hyper Threading" (in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt). In other words -- not enough to do soft power-down.
James.

Tnx James
I have moved the additional card to another PCI slot, but behaviour is similar with same warnings/errors at start-up in var/log/messages and dmesg
I made also a trial stopping iptables and trying to connect with the SMP kernel (and no acpi=ht option) but no connection established.
Now I have the following options:
1) use the standard kernel 2) use the SMP kernel with no internet connection (!!!!!) 3) use the SMP kernel with acpi=ht option at boot-time but no soft power-off
Of course option 2 is out of discussion
Shall I file a bug???
