I posted an article last week about about a pl10 problem
to which I got no response. Sorry for the repost, but I
REALLY could do with some help here...
I have been using SLS1.02 (kernel 0.99.pl9-1) for the last week,
but I thought that I would upgrade the kernel to 0.99.pl10.
After compiling and installing pl10, I rebooted and found that
my NE2000 ethernet card can't be found. I replaced pl9-1 and
rebooted - no problem - my ethernet card worked fine. I tried
again with pl10, but I got the same thing - no ethernet device
found.
Here is the extract of my boot messages when I use pl10:
8390.c:v0.99-10 5/28/93 for 0.99.6+ Donald Becker (becker@super.org)
WD80x3 ethercard probe at 0x280: FF FF FF FF FF FF not found (0x7f8).
3c503 probe at 0x280: not found.
8390 ethercard probe at 0x280 failed.
HP-LAN ethercard probe at 0x280: not found (nothing there).
No ethernet device found.
The following is an extract when using pl9-1:
8390.c:v0.86 4/8/93 for 0.99.6 Donald Becker (becker@super.org)
WD80x3 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 00 00 00 00 00 not found (0x00).
8390 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 80 48 82 49 43
eth0: NE2000 found, using IRQ 5.
Is there a problem with pl10? I have heard that others have
experienced the same sort of problems.
Do I need to do any extra configuring before I compile the kernel?
I do 'make config' and answer all the questions correctly I think.
This is the first kernel that I have compiled, so it is probably
something that I am (not) doing - but I would very much appreciate
any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks very much in advance!
Tim.
