Hey Eugene,
We've been running token ring here for ages. (Since 1994 and kernel version
1.0.9 i think).
Sounds like the token ring card isn't set up right. Does it have DIP
switches or is it configured via lanaid on disk?
If its switches make sure its set to c800 or cc00, irq 2 or 3, primary, 16k
and 16 meg.
If its configured by LANAID make sure its configuration is set to these
settings and make sure its in non plug and play mode.
Does it get this far?
tr0: ISA adapter found using irq 3, PIOaddr a20, 16K shared RAM.
tr0: Hardware address : xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
needless to say i've disabled the com port on irq 3.....
A bit further it should show this :
tr0: Initial interrupt : shared RAM located at <wherever>
tr0: Adapter initialized and opened.
catch ya later...
John
