I had the same swiotlb problem. The computer (SGI 750) hung (kernel panic) after network card initialization (ifconfig). The card (on-board) is Intel Pro/100 (or equivalent). By the way, I belive that one can directly enter "elilo linux swiotlb=32768" instead of waiting for ELILO prompt and hitting spacebar etc. Regards, Jiri Polach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
