Subkject: A68-N5000 cabini motherboard I got it functional partially.
This is for energy-saving motherboard with APU (15W TDP) on it without coolong fan. I just moved the HDD used on a C2D machine to this box, where it booted successfully with only one problem, ether chip. The ether chip on this board is: 1.0.0: net 02.00.00 10ec/8168 ...., and the error message from the kernel is: rtl8169: unknown mac 8168 4c000000. No, the ether8169.c file does not have that line. However ether82598.c file does. Then, I checked out the ether8169 line from /sys/src/9/pc/pcf, and tried to recompile the kernel, and got a huge sized one: size 9pcf 1309468t + 6491264d + 375712b = 8176444. I think the second size may be too big! I recompiled the 386 kernel many times and had no problem like this. The compilation after the last kernel recompilation are go(1.3?) and amd64 kernel. Anyone has an idea what'i going on? Kenji
