SIOCSIFFLAGS:Device or Resource busy, failed to bring up etho

638850Dec 30 2008
Hi folks:

I was trying to install EBS R12 on OEL 4 update 7. But I could not get linux to let me activiate my NIC (realtek ethernet card r8101). I understand the problem is Linux assigning same IRQ with another device. Someone suggested to disable plug and plau from BIOS. However my Bios does not have a feature to do that. My system is a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop. Question is - Is there a way to disable PnP from within linux. Or is there away to solve this problem without having to disable PnP from BIOS. Your assisstance is much appreciated.

Chris

PS I try to install from OEL5.2, it installs good but it gives me errors in the final check for HTTP, Login Page, JSP and a couple of other areas. Besides, I do not have a metalink access so I could not get the right configuration. That is why I wanted OEL 4. 7
