My distro is Linux FC2 and in my PC I have a main board with Sis 900 network device embedded in the main board. After installation of Linux FC2 the network hardware was automatically found by the system and I only configured the network device using the graphic interface (no dhcp and I put IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address). When I restart the PC I have this error at boot: "Sis 900 device eth0 does not seem to be present. Delaying initialization" I have the same error if I try to Activate the device from the graphic interface. I have checked BIOS and it seems OK: I have no plug and play OS setted and the LAN board is active. ifconfig does not show me any information about my device. Just the loopback interface. I run modprobe sis900 but it did not help. I tried also to disable OnBoard LAN from BIOS and enable it again just to run Kudzu and configure again the NIC board but it did not help. I attach the dmesg output . I am new to Linux, can anyone help me? Thanks. ciao Linux version 2.6.5-1.358 (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.3.3 2 0040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)) #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001f800000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffef0000 - 00000000fff00000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 504MB LOWMEM available. zapping low mappings.
