Hi! Last week I got a HP Kayak XA Workstation and tried to install 2.2.5-RELEASE on it. The machine has a combined UW-SCSI and 10/100 Ethernet PCI card. The SCSI-part is based on a 53C875 and worked flawlessly. The Ethernet-part of this card was identified as a Lance based card (NE2100, device lnc1) and almost worked... I can send data with >1Mbyte/s on a 10BaseT segment, but the receive-rate is a whopping 7k/s... any ideas? BTW, I have yet to install a machine (with Adaptec or NCR-SCSI) that will boot 2.2.5 without creating a small DOS-partition first... the usual error message is "read error" when trying to boot. It will make no difference, if I use a "dangerous" dedicated drive or a regular (DOS-) partiton table, it won't work. Creating a 1 MB DOS-Partition did the trick. I tried this with AH2940, on-board AIC7870, AIC7880 and 53C875... 2.1.7.1 booted flawlessly on the same machine and disk layout. That's progress... ;-) Martin | Martin Jangowski E-Mail: maja@birdland..rhein-neckar.de | | Voice: +49 621/53 95 06 Fax: +49 621/53 95 07 | | Snail Mail: Koenigsbacher Str. 16 D-67067 Ludwigshafen Germany | | RNInet e.V.
