I thought I read on the TODO list that the problems regarding lilo configs such as: append="ether=5,0x300,,,eth1" had been resolved. On my machine that is not true (dual ppro with supermicro mobo). I have a 3c509 and a netgear fa 310tx. With the above line in my lilo.conf the 3com should get eth1, but doesn't. Wasn't this labeled as fixed? cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 31616114 31421286 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 26156 26991 IO-APIC-edge keyboard 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 6825306 6844661 IO-APIC-edge serial 5: 30 40 IO-APIC-edge eth0 8: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 393885 390415 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse 13: 0 0 XT-PIC fpu 14: 199820 205297 IO-APIC-edge ide0 16: 30430 30676 IO-APIC-level eth1 17: 148696 149030 IO-APIC-level Trident 4DWave PCI 19: 419370 421016 IO-APIC-level BusLogic BT-958 NMI: 63037335 63037335 LOC: 63035787 63035785 ERR: 0 cat /proc/pci PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 2).
