Hi-
I'm in the process of trying to revive my home modem-driving system. I had an
old 386 box with a 200MB disk, a modem and an ethernet card (ep0, IRQ 10, IO
300h - an "EtherLink" 3c509 card) that I use to network to my "real PC" at
home. At any rate, the motherboard died, so I scrounged up another one and
moved the disk/floppy controller, disk drive, serial cards, VGA video card
and ethernet to the new box & motherboard. Now I get something along the
lines of
ep0: not found at 0x300
(I'm at work & that system is at home, so this is from memory). I found an
old /var/log/messages.1 file and it had a normal "we found it, it's using the
coax interface" sort of detection. This is all with the exact same disk drive
running FreeBSD-2.1.5. I'm trying to upgrade it to 2.2.2, but my only CDROM
drive is a SCSI drive accessible across the net from this IDE 386 box.
I'm about to start moving cards around in their slots to see if that makes a
difference, but thought I'd see if anyone had any flashes of insight into why
this might be happening.
Thanx,
