HW: pc164, 500Mhz, SRM Console sym53c875, 2GB Barrracude, Toshiba CDROM Netgear GA622T Copper Gigabit, 64bit pci, National Semiconductor DP83820 chipset DEC Tulip 100Mbps ethernet While trying to install a NetGear GA622T Gigabit ethernet card, I ran into following problems: linux kernel 2.2.19: boot OK compile of ns820.c from scyld.com: no problem insmod: ok, correct message ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.55: correct, no reaction, eth1 visible with MAC address and everything does not answer pings route add default gw 192.168.0.254: message: "something wicked happend!" impossible to send something linux kernel 2.4.9-ac7: boot not possible, detects 100Mhz pci-clock and aborts because its out of range while trying to init sym53c8xx driver. When using ncr53c8xx -> driver loads, timeout while finding HD. I tried with all kinds of options and combinations for the scsi drivers, no luck. FreeBSD-STABLE, most recent from cvsup6.freebsd.org, kernel recompiled with nge added: boot OK driver nge loads with correct message ifconfig works OK route works OK when pinging some other host: an ARP packet can be sniffed on the network, but with wrong type (0000 instead of 0001 (=arp request)). does not answer pings or send packets NetBSD1.5.2: boot OK did not manage to compile and install kernel&drivers correctly to get them working on alpha Well, so much for that, I think I tried a lot. Any ideas? Debugging approaches? Information to add? Other lists to ask? I do speak C, but not too much of the alpha-kernel-dialect...
