I have a few 3c589c cards. Both exhibit the same behavior,(IRQ 10) "stray interrupt, etc.", "ep0 won't come up". This message is on one of the virtual consoles durning the install. This card is currently running on my L50 under Win95. The same card works with the PAO boot install on other laptops. 2. I have the Adaptec 1450A. It shows up as aic0. I know this card isn't listed but on other laptops it works with the PAO install using a CDROM. This card fails on the L50 with the PAO install. 3. I've tried using just the L50 stand alone and with the extended port replicator. Both slot were tested but the same results. 4. I've install FreeBSD using the DOS boot/install method (I have a Win95 and FreeBSD partitions). So I have it install but all the card fail with the PAO kernel (modem, ethernet and scsi). Using the standard 2.2.2 (non-pao kernel) I can use the ethernet 3c589 as the zp device. 5. I've corresponded with a guy in Hong Kong who just did a PAO install on a L50 (Japaneese model). He had no problems: 3c589c Irq10. Conclusions 1. Hardware must be OK as all the card work correctly on the same machine under Win95 2. Perhaps something is different between the Japanese and English model. 3. Something is incorrect in the PAO kernel. Paul Paul Emerson Global Technology Associates, Inc.
