Hi,
I've encountered an odd problem trying to install 2.0R on a 486SX system.
Initial phases from floppy go OK, but on rebooting from the hard disk the
network doesn't come up properly. Ping works (to/from a variety of other
systems), but anything higher level (telnet, ftp, NFS) doesn't: looks like
only one direction of transmission is working. Thus I can't get any
further.
Hardware is unremarkable:
486SX25, AMI BIOS
8MB
420MB IDE
NE2000 clone
Trident 8900 SVGA
and runs 1.1R (or NT 3.5 :-{ ) just fine. I've installed the same
distribution with no problems on a 486DX66 with IDE & SCSI, Mitsumi CDROM,
NE2100; but that was straight off the CD (Infomagic/BSDisc). Any ideas? Any
chance this is SX specific?
