Hello, trying to install a debian potato via ftp on a pc with a smc-ultra-card is driving me crazy :-/.
It seems not to be possible to get debian potato to work with smc-ultra NICs. Some times ago i tried to get it installed on a P90 with a smc-ultra but had no sucess. Installing SuSE on that pc I had no problems to get the NIC work. Today the next try: I put the card into a 486 pc result: potato didn't load the module smc-ultra whether I gave the io and irq i set the jumper on the card on nor i gave no options to load it: potato every-time told me: device or resource busy... starting the distribution fli4l (www.fli4l.de) on that pc the card worked without any problems. I searched google and groups.google for that but without any sucess solving the problem. So i decided to compile my own kernel for the installation disk. I've got the kernel sources for 2.2.21. I sucessfuly mounted the rescue disk of my potato so I can put the bzImage as "linux" on it. But what about the driver-1.bin-disk? I'm not able to mount that disk to replace the modules on it. Any hints for solving the problem with the origin potato disks or how to mount and replace the driver-1.bin disk with the new kernel modules? thank you micha -- Windmuehlenweg 22 07907 Schleiz mobil: +491628955029 e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
