Does the boot option pci=assign-busses help?

Hi,

I tried to put that line "pci=assign-busses" in
/etc/lilo.conf, ran lilo but it doesn't work. Could
you be more specific as to how to try this out?

cheers,
P

Ok,

I managed to find out how to get LILO to accept the
prompt and tried booting with the optionb pci=assing-busses.
No error is generated, but no internet access either.
I also note that I cant turn the ethernet service down...
"device or resource busy"...
Try booting with the nopcmcia boot option then when the system is up try

sudo modprobe pcmcia_core
sudo modprobe tcic
sudo modprobe ds
cardmgr

if everything goes well shut down X and see if you get the lost interupt.  If not start X and try the
sudo modprobe axnet_cs

Also what errors do you get with the i82365 modprobe attempt?

Unfortunately, all the commands below return errors:

sudo modprobe tcic
sudo modprobe ds

sudo modprobe axnet_cs

Check that you do not have IRQ conflicts.
At a system prompt

dmesg | grep irq

Many times a conflict at irq 11 will show up.
Then either the card won't work or will be very very slow.
If so, then see if you can disable or assign via bios.

Again, thaks for your suggestion, but I don't think there is
such a conflict. The result of "dmesg | grep irq" is:
