modprobe ewrk3 input/output error

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems . Thanks in advance!

Here are the requested log files.

The command lines are:

sudo modprobe ewrk3
sudo modprobe ewrk3 irq=5 io=768
sudo modprobe ewrk3 irq=5 io=0x300

All produces an Input/Output error.

Regards,
Laszlo

Thanks for the additional information. Could you please post the exact error message when executing 'sudo modprobe ewrk3'? Thanks again.

The error message is almost the same as can be found here:

http://lists.hellug.gr/pipermail/linux-greek-users/2004-June/051414.html

FATAL: Error inserting ewrk3 (/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/drivers/net/ewrk3.ko):
Input/output error

The only difference is the kernel version of UBUNTU on my computer.
I tried other distro (i.e Puppy; 2.6.16) and it showed the same error message.

Older kernel versions (eg. 2.4.20) insert the module without any problem on the same computer (and it works).

Yours,
László

Hi lmezei,

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. If the issue still exists, please add the Hardy kernel "linux" task to the bug report. This can be done by clicking on the "Also affects distribution" link in the Actions area on left hand side of the bug report. Select "Ubuntu" as the Distribution and type in "linux" for the Source Package Name. Thanks.
