Hello, I loss my linux for a bit, seems the sczi card couldn't catch IRQ 10, was able to get back online by getting on via the installation kernel, then recompiled the kernel (had to take my pro-audio 16 sound card out until it can be determined why vmlinux keeps erroring out with a unresolved error for dma something or other) (btw, that is one question:-(

The main reason I recompiled the kernel however was because I just recently installed a pci ethernet card (was supposed to be ne2000 compliant). When I ran the diag in dos, I discovered the card is using irq 11. (If it helps, it is a LanStar CC-3200PCI). After rebooting into Linux, a message came up that it couldn't detect the ethernet card. Guess that means I misconfigured something as I can see the card in both Dos and OS/2.

I can offer a few hints for the pci ethernet card. First, see if you can get it to work as a module with the standard kernel. You must have kerneld running, and edit your /etc/conf.modules to say the following alias eth0 ne and options ne io=0x6000 irq=10 put the correct io and irq for your card. If it is PCI and you have a PCI Bios and motherboard, it should be detected at boot up. You should be able to enter <shift> <pgup> and read what adreess and irq was assigned. You probably don't have the io and irq right. Also if you recompile your kernel with ethernet built in, you must select 2 options in networking. Those are : --- other isa cards --- ne2000 support It's just the way they patched it up to have ne2000 with other isa cards.
