Hello all,

I ran into a problem trying to upgrade some old boxes (namely HP Netserver
e800) from 2.4 to 2.6. I have tried some 2.6.15.X up to 2.6.16, there is no
difference.
The simple problem is: network does not work.
The box in terms of hw looks like this:

The cards (two 3com 3c905B) look correctly configured with ethtool:

Yes, eth1 should really be a 10M/hd link.

Kernel, as said, is a stock 2.6.16 but 2.6.15.4 or the like is just the same.

Now for the weirdos:
- Neither eth0 nor eth1 works
- Both work flawlessly with kernel 2.4.30 (same box!)
- But: the same harddisk plugged into another box of about the same age (namely
Dell) with two 3c905B _works_.
- acpi=off does not help
- noapic does not help
- pci=routeirq does not help
- everything else in the box including the onboard intel network does work
without the slightest problems.
- it's all the same with about a dozen of those netservers.

I _guess_ it has something to do with the interrupts but I can't nail it down.
In rare cases eth0 looks like working, but then ping shows strange latencies
(around 7 ms) for LAN and compared to onboard intel with 0,276 ms.

If you need further info, feel free to ask, I ran out of ideas right now ...
