When I turn on the hardware memory | hole in the BIOS, the skge driver prints out this message: | skge hardware error detected (status 0xc00) | and then does not work. Setting debug=16 doesn't really show anything. Another users confirms this bug, saying: | I'm running kernel 2.6.15-1-amd64-generic version 2.6.15-6, and see | the very same thing. | So I have to turn off the memory remapping feature that allows the | system to see all 4 gig of memory, and thus lose the use of about 200 | megabytes of memory. | Hardware: ASUS A8V Deluxe, 4G RAM, Athlon 64 3200+ CPU. This problem has probably been there forever and also happens with the sk98lin driver: | With sk98lin under both 2.6.12 and 2.6.17 I get the following message, | repeated countless times, and finally a hang: [this is copied from | screen on to a sheet a paper and re-typed, beware typos]: | eth0: Adapter failed | eth0: -- ERROR -- | class: Hardware failure | Nr: 0x264 | Msg: unexpected IRQ Status error The bug is still present in 2.6.17 -mm6: | -mm6 does not work with skge and the hardware memory hole. It gave | these messages: | skge eth0: enabling interface | skge 0000:00:0a.0: PCI error cmd=0x117 status=0x22b0 | skge unable to clear error (so ignoring them) | skge eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx and rx | DHCP never managed to get an IP address. Any idea what to do about this? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
