I wonder if anyone can help me,
I'm installing Linux-Mandrake 7.0 on a machine that I have previously been
running as RedHat 6.0. For this install, I have re-partitioned my drive to
give myself more space for /usr, and chosen to install everything. The
install seems to go fairly well, except when it comes to configuring
networking. I have a no-name NE2000 compatible PNP ISA NIC, which is
configured to not use PNP. My BIOS is set to not use PNP. The card was
configured for I/O 300, IRQ 3 (COM 2 is disabled in the BIOS, so it is not
conflicting for IRQ). This was working happily under RH6.0, but when it
comes to loading the module, it fails, even after I put in the I/O address
and IRQ. I have tried changing the IRQ on the card to 10 (a setting my
other RH6.0 box is using happily) and re-installing, to no avail. The
options it is asking for are:
io - I've been using 300
probe_pci - I've tried putting a 0 or n here,
as well as leaving blank
irq - 3 or 10, as the card is set
bad - ???
Now, I'm not sure what "bad" is, so any help anyone can give me woould be
great.
