Alfredo,
I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. In the
current version of the kernel package, the IO parameter
is only being passed to the network module for certain
network modules. unfortunately, 'lance' is not one that
has the IO parameter passed to it.
This is all done in the linuxrc script that is part of
the initrd.
In the new kernel package that I'm working on now, it will
always pass the IO parameter, regardless of which module is
being loaded.
I expect to have this new kernel package available late Sunday
night.
I hope you can wait until then.
Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
