SuSE SLES 8 and United Linux 1.0 SP2 RC1/IA64 cause unresolved symbols
ACPI enable may cause Dual Port Pro/1000 adapters to fail
Linux SNMP: Set operation fails on RH3.0-RC1
This file describes Linux* distribution-specific issues. For general information and support, see the Support page.
If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported kernel with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue to linux.nics@intel.com.
If you get unresolved symbol errors when loading the e1000 driver, perform the following:
Then rebuild the driver.
In Caldera Open Linux* 3.1, the super-user’s executable path does not include /usr/sbin/, which is the default location selected by the makefile for Intel ANS installation. This causes problems later during the configuration stage. To solve this, either permanently add /usr/sbin to root’s executable path, or modify the makefile to set BIN_DIR to a preferred directory that is super-user specific and that appears in $PATH.
When compiling the e100 and e1000 drivers, various unresolved symbol errors may appear. These messages may be disregarded as the drivers will install and function properly on Caldera OpenLinux 3.1 Itanium® -based systems.
When trying to generate an RPM from the .tar.gz file, a segmentation fault (core dump) occurs. This failure occurs because Red Hat* 7.1 uses version 4.0.2 of the RPM utility. This version does not have the ability to handle parameterized macros, which are used within the e100 and e1000 spec files to generate an RPM. Updating the RPM utility to a more current version resolves the issue. The utility can be obtained from http://www.rpm.org.
If ACPI is turned on in the kernel, dual port adapters may not work. This is due to a limitation in ACPI. Currently, this affects all new versions of SuSE and the United Linux family.
Running the set operation using Red Hat 3.0 fails when using the
net-snmp-5.0.8 package. This issue has been fixed in net-snmp-5.0.9
package.
