Hello, I upgraded my system, a Dell Dimension 233 MHz, from RH9 to FC1 and after the first reboot got the following kernel dump: <QUOTE> Jan 16 13:09:19 pegasus kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0e.0 Jan 16 13:09:19 pegasus kernel: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html Jan 16 13:09:19 pegasus kernel: See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt Jan 16 13:09:19 pegasus kernel: 00:0e.0: 3Com PCI 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx at 0xfcc0.

This dump of the transmit error repeats itself every few seconds. I tried several different combinations of LAN cards with 3Com, Intel and realtec for eth0 and eth1 also on different PCI slots everytime. 3Com/3Com gives this failure as wel 3Com/Intel Pro. Only the combo 3Com/RealTec did not cause this and now runs fine. Why can't i use 2 3Com cards anymore or a 3Com card with a Intel Pro 100 card??????? What causes these messages? Faulty drivers maybe? This was immediatelly after the upgrade from CDROM but before running up2date on the new Fedora server. Thanks, -- Jan
