Hi,
I am trying to put Debian linux on an HP Kayak machine. I've put
Debian on a bunch of other machines before, but this one is
giving me problems unlike any I've seen. The system has a
Symbios 53C875 SCSI controller with one disk, an IDE interface
connected to the CDROM, an "integrated" ethernet network
interface of some HP flavor, and a graphics card based on a
Cirrus Logic chip.
I'm loading the system from a Debian 2.0 distribution CD. I've
got the base system loaded, but getting the network interface
configured is a problem. There are no IRQ conflicts but Windows
95 cheerfully reports a conflict that the ethernet interace, the
SCSI controller, and the PCI-PCI bridge are all sharing an area
in memory and in IO space. Windows doesn't seem to have a
problem with this, but whenever I try to ifconfig the ethernet
device it is reported as busy. Does anyone have any clues on
this? Turning PnP on or off in the CMOS setup doesn't seem to
have any effect on this.
Thanks,
