Subject: [suse-sparc] PCI Ethernet Problems with SuSE 7.3 Sparc

    Hallo,

    I'm running SuSE 7.3 on a Sun UltraSparc 30 (250 MHz). I can't get any
    third-party ethernet cards to work. I've tried 5 different cards (SMC 1255,
    3com SOHO100, 3com 900B, Linksys LNE100TX, Intel EtherPro 100). All of the
    cards are detected properly, but they don't respond. The links come up and
    down with the card, but the cards are not responding to interrupts...so no
    packets are sent. Do I need to manually set the IRQ's for the cards or what
    is happening. Here is what ifconfig reports with the SMC 1255 (eth1,
    tulip):

    eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 16:E2:04:00:F6:76
              inet addr:192.168.8.1 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

              RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
              Interrupt:128 Base address:0x1400

    Here is what /proc/interrupts says:

    Here is the error that appears in /var/log/messages:

    I have similar errors for the other 4 cards. It definitely seems to be an
    interrupt issue, but I can't fix it. I've tried booting with noapic nosmp
    pci=biosirq, but that doesn't work. Any other ideas...

    Thanks,
