Category: Release/Branch: Dachstein Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dion Bird (dionb98) Assigned to: Mike Noyes (mhnoyes) Summary: Dachstein will not start on 486/100..... Initial Comment: Dachstein will not start on my 486 DX4/100 with 32MB of RAM. Here is a summary of the boot process before it locks up. IP Filters: [IP Forwarding: DISABLED] flushed SIOCGIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device Bind socket to interface: Operation not supported by device exiting Starting Network: [IP Always Defrag: ENABLED] IP filters: firewall [IP Forwarding: ENABLED] Loopback interface: lo Starting interface: Cannot find device "eth1" SIOCGIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device eth1 Hostname: firewall Static NS: 2 hosts At this point the cursor just sits and flashes. On my other systems the disk will boot completely, with the summary I have provided, same as what's written above. (Including the operation not supported by device stuff) Any insight on why it won't continue past this point on the 486? As I said before it is a 486 DX4/100 with 32MB RAM. I have stripped it down to just the PCI video card and the PCI NIC card. I've tried booting it with no NIC card, and 1 card and 2 cards. If I boot the system under Windows 98, it will detect the network cards so they appear to be functioning. I would appreciate any suggestions you have.

Is your BIOS set to PNP os?

A BIOS update may or may not allow for the larger format and I do not know of a definate fix that works for this problem. You may need to reduce your LEAF disk to fit on a 1.44M formatted disk or use a different machine. Unfortunately this is the best advice I can give on this one. I hope it helps, ~Lynn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=213751&aid=594097&group_id=13751 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
