Hello,

I have installed a Suse 8.2 on PC with the follow configuratiom:

M/B: Asus P4S8X-x
CPU: P4 3.0 GHZ
MEM: 512 MB
HD: 80 GB
LAN: SIS 900 (on board)

At the system startup i receive the follow message:

Setting up network interfaces:

lo done

eth0 killproc: kill(31,3)

INIT: Entering runlevel: 5


<notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01isdn start
<notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01isdn start' exits with status 0
<notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01random start
<notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01random start' exits with status 0
<notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S05network start
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy

When I try to ping any machine on my lan, I receive this message:
"The network is unreachable"

Do you have some suggestion for resolve this problem???

Thanks in advance!!

Alex.

try running ifup eth0, does this work??

I have the same setup as you (but a 2ghz celeron) and my suse8.2 installation had no problem. unfortunately i can't give more precise instruction as I've just updated to mandrake 10

I have tried to lunch ifup eth0 this is the result:

linux:~ # ifup eth0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
Starting DHCP Client Daemon on eth0...
startproc: exit status of parent of /sbin/dhcpcd: 1

I've found people with a similar problem to you and the solution they came up with was disabling the plug and play option in the BIOS
