Thanks for your very quick reply, Alfred. You too Marcus. Now that I have the text I can see that it wasn't recognized.

Thank you Alfred and Marcus, that's just what I needed. > All devices that GNUMach provides are compiled in by default in the Debian > package I believe. If it's compiled in and it doesn't show up during boot do I just have to pass it a parameter to make it activate and recognize?

If you look in the file /info/hurd.info-1.gz in the node titled "Invoking serverboot" it describes what I'm talking about, but it's a mute point now. > > * Putting /bin/sleep commands in both /libexec/rc and /libexec/runsystem > > are too late in the boot process to help much but they do help a > > little. > Yes, as they are the last things that get run at boot. > > > * The BIOS detects the card at IRQ 10, isapnp under Linux shows this: > > > # Card 1: (serial identifier 2a 02 8c d9 c8 01 22 8b 11) # Vendor > > Id DLK2201, Serial Number 42785224, checksum 0x2A. # Version 1.0, > > Vendor version 0.0 # ANSI string -->D-Link DE-220P PnP ISA Card<-- > > You could check the GNUMach source code and see if this card is supported to > begin with. Yes, the DE-220 is supported by the ne.c driver in gnumach-20011013/linux/src/drivers/net/ne.c and is an #ifdef in that file as SUPPORT_NE_BAD_CLONES. One of the reasons I got this model is that even though it's PCI it is a very standard NE2000 clone that should run in just about any computer.
