  • Bug#250748: fails to modprobe via-rhine module on pegasos (discover lis

    From Ian Murdock@1:229/2 to Sven Luther on Tue Aug 17 23:10:10 2004

    Sven,

    Could you update to discover-data 2.2004.05.03-4 and tell me if
    you're still seeing this? According to the discover database, we
    added a mapping from 1106:3065 to via-rhine on April 4, so it should
    work for any version of discover-data newer then 2.2004.04.09-1.

    Thanks,

    -ian

    Well, i have the following via-rhine hardware present :

    0000:00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 51)

    Which is detected correctly by discover :

    $ discover
    VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II]

    But somehow the module is failing to be loaded, while this worked well
    with discover 1 :

    Discovering hardware: snd-via82xx
    Loading snd-via82xx:

    You see, no via-rhine driver. This is with a 2.6.x kernel, but i believe
    the same problem happens with 2.4 (as happens when i use the debian
    installer to make a unstable install for example).

    Friendly,

    Sven Luther

    So, no, the issue is not solved. When we where at Linuxtag, gaudenz had a
    look, and the conclusion seemed to be some subtle endianess issue or something such.

    Luckily hotplugs comes behind, and know how to load the driver now, but still this is a barrier to running without hotplug, or to using discover2 in the debian installer.

    Ah. Yes, there's a bug wrt endianness and pci id values. There's a patch
    in the BTS that will be in the next version of discover 2.

    In the debian BTS ? Could you send it to me, so i can test it locally ?

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Nope, doesn't solve it :

    sven@pegasos2:~/debian/discover$ sudo discover-modprobe -n
    modprobe snd-via82xx
