hi guys, I have a Dauphin notebook (Cyrix 486, 6M RAM), and want to have real OS on it (bundled Pen Windoze doesn't count ;-). It has a internal Ethernet card, which docs claims to be built around NS DP83905 chip, with TP connector. The setup program allows to set 16 or 64 K on-board memory; I use 16K. The packet sniffer supplied in the setup program works fine ;-), so I am sure the card and wires are ok. I have tried hard to make diskless boot working on it (I have put debug printfs there, changed the probing code to the liking of if_ed.c, etc.) - it still hangs. Yesterday, I have successfully installed Novell Netware on it using its own ODI driver; apparently, when running packet driver after loading LSL, the system hangs hard after several seconds (needs a reset). Does this sound like a familiar thing to someone? thanks, Dmitry.
