If Mandrake used LILO to install, there very well might be a backup in /boot/boot.0800 or something like that. You might want to consult the LILO documentation and/or a net search to see if they say how to restore this (probably using dd). If you have real W2K media, it has boot floppies and a

Anybody get this working with 2.2.18 or 2.4.0-prerelease? I can't seem to get the on-board 3c905c to work. I've seen it without an interrupt assignment in /proc/interrupts. With Red Hat's pump (DHCP), it sends packets out but doesn't seem to see the response. I can provide more details.

Yes, it is rev 78, but I have at least 20 of these working on other machines (Precision 620) for a long time now. The difference in this machine is the i850 chipset vs. the i810 in the 620. This seems to be a problem of 3c59x making a successful call of request_irq(), but nothing shows up in

I had the exact same problem. I ended up getting around it by installing a Linux image from another machine. 2.2.18 works fine on the machine, but Red Hat 6.2's install would not reliably get past the infinite reset stage. So, there is hope that once you get something new enough on the machine

Sorry to follow up, but I forgot to note that it is trying to share IRQ 11 for aic7xx and eth0. However, even if I move the Adaptec card to another slot, where it gets IRQ 10, still no joy for eth0 on IRQ 11. --Lee Hetherington - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe

/proc/interrupts shows eth0 (sharing aic7xxx) now. The NIC is fully functional now. I was actually trying your 3c59x.c-2.2.19pre2.gz, and not the -2 version. Trying that now. --Lee - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL
