eth0 problem

[swayda]

I installed Red Hat 7.2. Eth0 is not loading. Examining the dmesg I have found that the card is being detected but the last two lines under the eth0 detected line are

mtrr: no MTRR for e6000000,400000 found
mtrr: no MTRR foe e6000000,400000 found

Can anyone decipher this for me? Any help is truly appreciated.

mtrr = Memory Type Range Register. It's a way of setting certain parameters for different blocks of memory within your system. You can make some parts non-cachable, some parts to use write-combining, some parts to use write-back caching, etc.

You might have to upgrade your kernel, or try a newer version of Red Hat to fix this problem. If its been compiled into the kernel and your machine isn't compatible with it, you will get these messages all through your logs.
