I have been enjoying linux greatly, having fun watching things progress. We
recently received a new gateway ATI PRO 66Mhz machine, which I immediately blew
away the disk and installed a linux partition.
I installed the sls distribution and updated to 0.99. Has anyone taken
this configuration and gotten any of the tcpip stuff to work with an SMC card?
I just got and read the new NET FAQ for 0.99 and still can't get anything
to work. During bootup I get the syntax for /usr/etc/inet/config displayed
twice during boot up. I am fairly sure I answered all the
/usr/etc/inet/install.inet problems appropiately. I know that the IRQ and I/O
address's are right, (IRQ 5 And i/o 280) becuase dos uses them and works.
Also the memory address were right stock (D0000).
One other strange thing is when I soft boot into dos, the tcpip there doesn't
work, but if I hard boot into dos it does. (this is reliable). Seems that
linux is locking up the ELITE SMC 16 card somehow.
Any ideas appreciated, all commands come back with network is unreachable.
