Taking out support for all but one card works fine. It appears, however, that it cannot find the 3C503. I have a 3C503 on an isa slot in a pentium machine with a PCI bus. It says it can't find the adapter. I'm going to swap the SMC card in the 486 with the 3COM card in the Pentium and see if it works. On the 486, I can load up the kernel and everything, but it dies with a SIOCFADDR or something like that - with the error number 6. It's a panic in nfs_mountroot or somesuch. I'm going to try a SNAP kernel and see what happens. -matt -- Matthew C.
