Gots me here a Compaq (shudder) Pentium 200, no CD. So I mosey on over and get a network install disk and it works up to the point where it detects the NIC, fine, asks for DHCP, yup, loads the LAN info fine, ie. gateway, DNS, get's an IP, etc.
Then when it comes to "bringing up interface", it signal 11s, "install exited abnormally" (duh). the logs show the successful loading of the NIC drivers, etc., then "receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling workaround." it goes through some checks, passes all, then says: "receiver lock-up workaround activated." then nada. This is with an Intel Etherexpress Pro/100b NIC. With the 3Com 100BaseTX (Cyclone), go through the same process, only the kernel messages are different, it signal 11s right after: scatter/gather enabled. h/w ckecksums enabled are both NICs just no good, or is there something else I can eliminate first? I replaced the cable, just to be sure. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 03:31:26 up 15 days, 9:12, 2 users, load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.02
