Hi,
I just replaced a fast ethernet card with a Realtek 8169 Gigabit
ethernet card on an old DELL Poweredge running debian. I upgraded the
kernel to 2.6.22 but it didn't solve my problems.
At boot, the kernel says:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded
eth0: RTL8169s/8110s at 0xe0848400, 00:1b:2f:2b:b3:b4, IRQ 17
but then eth0 doesn't exist and is renamed to eth3. Does anybody know
why, and how to get it back to eth0 ? There's probably a FAQ on this
somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
The other problem I have is, as soon as I do
ifconfig eth3 up
the machine is rebooting (like if I pressed the reset button).
Adding "acpi=noirq" to the boot cmdline seems to solve this, but I
wonder if it's the proper solution ?
Thanks for your help,
Xav
