Now I can boot my i845 MB successfully with kernel 2.4.27. please see content of /proc/pci: PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 3) . Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0000000 [0xe3ffffff]. Bus 0, device 2, function 0: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Integ rated Graphics Device (rev 3). IRQ 11. Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd0000000 [0xd7ffffff]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdff80000 [0xdfffffff]. Bus 3, device 10, function 0: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ ( rev 16). IRQ 3. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64. I/O at 0xcc00 [0xccff]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdfdfff00 [0xdfdfffff].
It seemed that linux assigned correct irq to rtl8139. But there was some trouble with ethernet. (1)insmod 8139too ---> ok (2)ifconfig eth0 192.12.10.167 ---> error linux box hangup and the driver output "rtl8139: exiting interrupt, intr_status=0000" continuously.
my settings: (1)don't set FEC0__xxxx regs (2) 0x4d0=28 0x4d1=1c 0x21=e8 0xA1=3f
who has met the same problem and can give some glues to solve it? tks zhu
