kernel 2.6.8 oddities
Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Linux kernel 2.6.8 (from 2.4.27) and I
experience two problems:
1. While my DVD reader is recognized perfectly by the system
Mar 6 13:51:51 localhost kernel: hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB
Cache, UDMA(33)
Mar 6 13:51:51 localhost kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
later during the boot it gives the following error:
Sun Mar 6 13:46:41 2005: Loading uhci_hcd module.
Sun Mar 6 13:46:50 2005: No CD/DVD drives found.
and as a consequence I cannot mount my cdrom drive.
My fstab line regarding the cdrom is the following:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
and ls -l /media gives:
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2005-03-01 19:56 cdrom -> /media/cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2004-12-22 11:59 floppy -> floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-12-22 11:59 floppy0
2. The dhcpoffer does not succeed when booting (see log below)
Mar 6 13:54:01 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14

Mar 6 13:54:30 localhost pppd[3477]: primary DNS address 195.38.97.1
Mar 6 13:54:30 localhost pppd[3477]: secondary DNS address 195.38.96.20
Mar 6 13:54:37 localhost dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
But still, I have the Internet connection perfectly operating (so this
one is not such a huge problem after all since the my connection
just-works :) but still, I am curious. I have two ethernet cards, one is
where the adsl is connected, the other is a wireless one but there is no
wifi hotspot around, so it surely does not connect via this. I am not
connected to any local network.
thank you for your help in advance,
Balint
