This machine has an HP combo card (PN #5183-2725 or #5064-3616) with NCR SCSI and AMD PCNet-Fast chipsets. While booting up, I get the following kernel messages: # .... # ncr0: rev 0x26 int a irq 9 on pci2.4.0 # lnc1: rev 0x25 int a irq 9 on pci2.5.0 # .... # Additional routing options: tcp extentions=NO TCP keepalive=YES # routing daemons:. # Mounting NFS filesystems # lnc1: Device timeout -- Resetting Once booted, the machine constantly spits out thousands of these: lnc1: Heartbeat error -- SQE test failed. I resorted to commenting this out in if_lnc.c because it was such a bother. However, I think there should be a better way? Anyone? Also, every few minutes I'll get one of these: lnc1: Transmit of packet failed after 16 attempts -- TDR = 0. The machine is online, and except for some strange NFS problems (which I think are unrelated) the networking seems fine. I'd be happy to help debug this.
