PCI Kernel error - address space collision on of device

Post by MichaelT » 2011/08/22 16:07:46

Having some difficulty getting WMP600N wireless board to be recognized by the OS without kernel errors. I have installed the drivers from elrepo and device id pairing shows that kmod-rt2860sta supports this board. I suspect though that the drivers will not function correctly if the system is having problems with the board.

Here is what I hope is the relevant info from getinfo.sh:

Also in the dmesg and messages log files:

[quote]messages

Is there anything I can do to get this working?

Thanks

The other thing that is interesting is that ipconfig -a cannot determine the MAC address. So I think the drivers may be working but the kernel fails to recognize the device.

PCI Kernel error - address space collision on of device

Try booting with the pci=nocrs option on the kernel command line. This is entirely experimental so may not work!

Thanks for the suggestion TrevorH. I moved the card to a different slot thinking it was a device conflict but the same kernel error . Decided just to install CentOS 5.6 on the new server since it works.

I found a redhat bugzilla report talking about the same sort of error message and it was due to a kernel bug. Adding pci=nocrs is meant to be a bypass for this bug.
