Hi,

I have a rather scarce problem. Or atleast a problem which has not been
solved as far as my 2 week search lasted.
I installed Debian 3.0 from CD and selected, in the modules insertion menu,
the driver for a SiS900 Ethernetcard. This immediately gave me the error
that the card is unavailable.

.... SIOCSFFLAGS : Resource unavailable.....

Now this ethernetcard is on-board, so I figured that there must be some
weird driver for it.
So I stacked in a RTL8139 ethernetcard, a very common card. When I inserted
the rtl8139 driver for this card it also gave an error:

.... SIOCSFFLAGS : Device busy or unavailable.....

Last time I had this I just stacked it in another PCI slot and all was jolly
again. But not this time. I tried all slots. I also tried compiling my own
version of the SiS900 driver. This did not help me in any way.
The motherboard has some settings which i tried also, but nothing helped me
even 1 step further.

Does anyone know what to do? Below are some outputs, which might help you
helping me :->
