I was trying to instal SL308 on a TYAN server mounting a TYAN S5372
motherboard. The two gigabit NICs are intel 92563EB.
I can install the OS via http. The system starts and loads the e1000 module.

dmesg tells me that eth0 is up 

e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex

or, accprding to the switch i connect it to

e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex

but the network does not work. Everything works when i connect the cable
to eth2 (the fast ethernet interface).

I tried downloading the driver from the intel site, compiling and installing
it but insmod says:

/lib/modules/2.4.21-47.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o:
unresolved symbol pci_set_consistent_dma_mask

Does anybody have an answer?
