enabling on board NIC

pstacks — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:52:18 GMT

I can't enable my onboard HP NC 7760 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. Had to disable to use a 3Com PCI nic for bare metal recovery and changed the IRQ in the bios. The adapter shows up in device manager (windows server 2003 standard), but when trying to enable, states there is a resource conflict.

Why would you change the IRQ in BIOS? That is probably the source of the resource conflict.

I'm sure that's the problem. I was performing a bare metal restore to the server. The linux boot environment didn't recognize the onboard nic (nc7760). I put a 3com pci nic in and was trying to make sure there wasn't interference/conflict with the existing nic and its IRQ assignment.

Alan,

Any more thoughts on this problem?
