I updated the Kernel via yum again this morning to 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4
which made no difference.
I also looked at the BIOS set up , the only DMI option's I have seem to
relate to logging and about all I could do there was "mark as read."
During boot I see a message about eth0 FAILED streaming by and dmesg
shows: 3c59x: Unknown parameter `irq'
And modprobe reports:
modprobe -v 3c59x
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko irq=10
FATAL: Error inserting 3c59x
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg shows: 3c59x: Unknown parameter `irq'
System-config-network and Webmin both fail to configure eth0, producing
error messages after going through the configuration routine.
I can still use the earlier Kernel but would like to get this
straightened out.
Thanks.
