Category: Release/Branch: Dachstein
Group: None
Status: Open
Priority: 5
Submitted By: Dion Bird (dionb98)

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.
Dion

Have you configured the NIC's with DOS?,
What is the make and model of your NIC's
Are you loading the right drivers?
example: NE2000-pci = pciscan + 8390 + ne2k-pci modules to
load.
Is your BIOS set to PNP os?

Some old BIOS's do not detect the larger floppy format that the LEAF
distro's use. 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
