To narrow the focus of my earlier questions, and maybe pass some information along. I used the Compaq SmartStart to erase my configuration and try again. This time, I chose NT4.0 as the OS and allowed it to install the system partition. After installing 3.4-RELEASE again, mptable output looks different. Now the number of interrupts is reduced to 44. So I use these options: NCPU=2 NBUS=3 NAPIC=1 NINTR=44 And compile a kernel. Hurrah! It boots! But it only scans 1 PCI bus. My NIC was in the fifth PCI slot, so it couldn't find it. First, I change NBUS to 10. It scans all the buses and detects my Intel EtherExpress Pro this time, but when it comes time to start sendmail in the startup scripts, I get 'device timeout : fxp0'. Something is amiss. I moved the NIC into the first PCI slot, and it works properly there, but I'm going to need those other slots here in the future. I also noticed this in dmesg: 'fixbushigh_450nx : bogus highest PCI bus 255, reduced to 10' Has anyone figured out how to get one of these to work properly yet?
