The smc net card wouldn't work, so I popped it out, put in a 3com, and now it works. The system is running now so I don't dare to poke it. We've been running about 24 hours with only one (intentional) reboot so it would see the high 32m (yay) > Check that you have the IRQ of the ed0 device assigned to the ISA bus > in the PCI P-n-P configuration menu of the BIOS setup for you machine. yes, both the 3com and smc I had set to irq5, which is reserved for isa in pnp. As long as the 3com code is pretty solid now, I'm happy to leave it. I think it's time to just cross my fingers. some asides: we do have an a2940w, but the external connector on it isn't the standard "mini-50" it looks more like a "mini-68". Do you know if I can just get an adapter cable for my external (non-wide) chain? do scsi devices on a second controller just show up as [r]sd7-[r]sd13?? (ie, same major device number, just incrementing the minor number?) How does the machine decide which controller is first? where can I find documentation on /sbin/dset and the kernel -q option? ----------- (rejoining the list) looks good guys. It's nice to tune in again.
