This is the on board ethernet MAC address. This will not affect you currently .
Does the ethernet card work from AmigaOS 4.1 (if you have AmigaOS 4.1 installed) ?

This is what I get when I run the installer.
This is a PCI 8139 ethernet card in the last PCI slot of my X5000 .
See the Right side of image # 1 for the System Information info

Ok, on my X5000 the network card isn't even listed in System Info. So there definitely seems to be something wrong with the card. I guess I have to contact my dealer about this then or is there anything else I can try? I only have

0 Processor
1 Display controller
1 Multimedia device
2 Processor
6 Multimedia device

in the list of PCI devices.

The Ethernet card could have become loose during shipping.
You could try to re seat it .

Alright, reseating the network really did solve the problem. Now I could install Ubuntu Mate on the X5000 just fine. However, when I try to mount my SMB shared using

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs -o username=$user,password=$pwd,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000 //192.168.0.123/stuff /mnt/stuff
[code]

I get the following error: Mount failed: host is down. I can ping 192.168.0.123 just fine, though, so the host isn't really down. Does the kernel support cifs mounts on the X5000? On the X1000 this is working fine.

You may need to install samba anf cifs stuff first.

sudo apt-get install samba
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

My X5000 kernels should support cifs.

CONFIG_CIFS=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_STATS is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH=y
CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y
CONFIG_CIFS_ACL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2 is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG_DUMP_KEYS is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_SMB311=y
CONFIG_CIFS_FSCACHE=y

I've installed Samba, but it still says "host not found"?!

I will have to verify the kernel cifs support.
Samba works ok for me but I have never used cifs.
