eth0 and network problem (network card not recognized)
My Magellan Pro robot(ret hat 6.2) was experiencing a problem as follows. Last night after modifying a c++ program on the Linux for many times and finally got an error of file jam. Then the Linux cannot reboot any more. Fortunately, after several hours' effort, the Linux can reboot. However, there occur a problem of eth0:
(1): use lspci and lsmod, found Ethernet card is not recognized and driver module is not loaded! (no result shown as follows:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
rtl8139 11748 0 (autoclean) )
(2): use modprobe rt18139.o
Can't locate module rt18139.o
(3):insmod rt18139
init_module: Device or resource busy
(4)cat /proc/interrupts
the result does not contain an IRQ for the network card
(5)cat /proc/net/dev
only shows information about lo but no information about eth0
The plug of network cable and the network card seem to be well enough. Please advice us accordingly.
Looking forward to your reply as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Lai

I think in the end reinstalation of Linux will be the solution , but starting from the begining the main problem is that OS coudn't see you pci NIC - the output of lspci .
One of possible reasons is misunderstanding between the OS and the BIOS pci routing table .
But I see "PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfb1e0" during startup , wich is rignt message , so I am confused .
Do you use something like PCI=BIOSIRQ in lilo ?

ASKER
thanks for your reply. Some more information:
(1) No particular item for network card exists in bios settings, but I have tried enable/disable PnP in bios settings. No effect.
(2): Use modprobe rt18139 rather than use modprobe rt18139.o also gets a response
Can't locate module rt18139
(3): ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
(4): If another PCI card is inserted into the robot's PCI slot, it will be listed with 'lspci' command.
Since the Ethernet controller is built into the motherboard of the computer, I think the problem mainly lies in that the device can not be recognized by the computer.
This made me a bit pessimisitic.

Sounds like the devices setup in /dev may have been partially corrupted.
Have you tried going for an install of the same version of Linux, as if there wasn't an OS already there, but without comitting any changes? You should be able to see if the card is detected under those circumstances. If it shows up, my guess is that you'll have to reinstall.
Not what you wanted to hear.......

No matter it is builded in or external board , the device is connected to the PCI bus , so have to be listed in /proc/pci .
But the WeakestLink is right - could you try to install Knoppix from CD and see if it will find your hardware proper .

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When you spent some time to get back to where you could reboot, did the first fsck runs show errors? It may be that they found file system errors which didn't get fixed, but got moved to the lost+found areas.
It may be that you could copy the relevant modules to the /usr/lib/modules/<kernel revision> area from the install CDs, but any time I tried that in the past, I spent ages trying and finally re-installed anyway.
Maybe someone else can come up with a magical fix, but I'm pessimisitic.
