Re: server woes

Hi Christian,

I had a similar problem with a motherboard that used a via chipset. I
fixed it by appending 'pci=conf1' to the grub bootup.

Even if no cards/devices were present, lspci should
show the various usb controllers and such, since they
live on the pci bus. lspci shows me nothing.

I've looked in dmesg for anything relating to pci,
but that went nowhere.

I'm not sure where else to go with this. Any advice
on what might be wrong with my pci bus would be
appreciated.

p.s. Thanks for the suggestions JimD. I appreciate
them, even if they haven't gotten me anywhere.

What is the output of:

dmesg | grep -i eth

Is the NIC on board or a PCI card? Is it old? Could it be
broke? If
it is onboard, have you check your BIOS to make sure it is
enabled?

Do you have the Ubuntu Dapper install CD? If so, boot with
that. If
your network card works, then you know it is not the
card. You can also
then find out what module is used for your network card from
running the
command above.
