Hello again,
I managed to get the boot process finishing,
( 1.68MB floppy, Bering 2.4.16, thinkpad 755C,
2 3com589D PCMCIA net cards, 20MB RAM)
i found out that I had to put
append floppy=thinkpad
just after
default linux
Now
I'm trying to finish with this installation
and I'm currently stuck with the eth0-eth1 not been
connected, and not responding to ping either.
I think it is a problem of interrupt not being
tied to the PCMCIA cards, altough the card's LEDs lit up.
(but not the LEDs on the switch and the dlink router)
my network is like this:
------------------ ------------------
! PCMCIA ! ! PCMCIA !
! 3com589D ! ! 3com589C !
inet 192.168.0.1 !eth0 192.168.0.2! !eth1 192.168.1.254
___dlink_____________________________IBM 755C____________________switch_______PC
firewall/router ! Bering ! !________PC
!----------!
I put the 4 PCMCIA modules (3c589_cs, ds, i82365, pcmcia_core) into
/boot/lib/modules
then set /etc/network/interfaces with:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.254
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
then set /etc/hosts with:
192.168.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.254 firewall
_DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT INTO_ /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf :
nameserver 127.0.0.1 ???
nameserver 192.168.1.254 ???
cat /proc/interrupts gives:
0: 478326 XT-PIC timer
1: 329 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
NMI: 0

the boot process gives:

hoping for some more help...
