Hmmmmm, I don't know, maybe, but please send us the whole ftape part
of /var/log/messages;
now it seems to be going beyond my knowledge.
The following is a part of my own /var/log/messages - I have a ditto max -
and as you can see, important is only the first interface (qft0, nqft0);
the above mentioned message appearing with the other 3 interfaces
doesn't matter at all. As I can remember from my own troubleshooting times
important are the dma lines and of course the found line at the end
of the syslog.
If "Got 0x00..." appears even with the first interface (you can recognize
the 0 after [008], I must admit I lack of additional ideas. Maybe
playing around with some different options for bpck-fdc (anywhere in the manual),
perhaps just for making sure some tries with the trakker module,
and perhaps there is anybody out there having more ideas?
Ok, awaiting your syslog,
bye, Juergen.
