Hmmm... strange. It may be an issue with the MB BIOS. I've never seen a floppy not support a superformat, but some BIOS's (particular P1 Dells) refuse to acknowledge it. :( > >Bering comes with the kernel modules (stock) and the like-named D.Becker > > tree which _does_ depend on pci-scan.o.

That's pretty unusual, I prefer the 509B's (ISA) for my 10M links and have never had a problem using them with any image (after fixing the EEPROM for Linux w/utility). IIRC, the 515's were never well supported or readily used. I have heard of a lot of runtime issues with the 905's (PCI) over the years, it sounds as if you may be the exception to this case. In any case there shouldn't be any module dependancies with the 509 and 515 modules, so I would look at IRQ/IO issues instead (/proc). -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
