Further to the above, /vaar/log/boot.msg contains the following two lines:

sis190 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded
sis190: probe of 0000:00:04.0 failed with error -5

Any thoughts?

Can't offer much help but I can confirm that I have a sis190 running
fine with OpenSUSE 10.3. Are you cold-booting the machine (i.e. not warm
booting from a Windows installation)?

There's just openSuse 10.3 on the machine.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem with suse 10.3..

I don't have any idea how to get rid of these errors..

From suse webpages I found a rather cryptic comment..
------------------------------------
The SIS190 driver in 10.3 does not work. There is a different driver on
the SIS website for 2.6.9, but this does not even compile due to
MODULE_PARM issues."
------------------------------------

Is there anyone who knows how to fix this?

Regards,

Sampsa
