Good day, everyone!
Can someone help me here?
I am trying to install Token-Ring card (Tropic Chipset
- IBM ISA 16/4 Adapter 2) to my Slackware 4.0 system
on Pentium 3, 128MB RAM machine. I do the following:
1. cd /etc/rc.d
Then I edit file rc.modules ("uncomment" the line
with "/sbin/modprobe ibmtr ...) - install tr module
2. reboot the machine. (so that modprobe can take
effect) - alhtough I realize this is optional
3. Then if I do 'modls', tr0 device is said to be
idle.
And if I do this:
cd /etc/rc.d
vi rc.inet1
(change eth0 to tr0)
... then when I try to reboot the computer, it
displays that Token-Ring card was recognized, but it
never gets to the login prompt - it halts.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happenning?
What am I doing wrong here?
Eugene.
