Hi, I am trying to put Debian linux on an HP Kayak machine. I've put Debian on a bunch of other machines before, but this one is giving me problems unlike any I've seen. The system has a Symbios 53C875 SCSI controller with one disk, an IDE interface connected to the CDROM, an "integrated" ethernet network interface of some HP flavor, and a graphics card based on a Cirrus Logic chip.
I'm loading the system from a Debian 2.0 distribution CD. I've got the base system loaded, but getting the network interface configured is a problem. There are no IRQ conflicts but Windows 95 cheerfully reports a conflict that the ethernet interace, the SCSI controller, and the PCI-PCI bridge are all sharing an area in memory and in IO space. Windows doesn't seem to have a problem with this, but whenever I try to ifconfig the ethernet device it is reported as busy. Does anyone have any clues on this? Turning PnP on or off in the CMOS setup doesn't seem to have any effect on this. Thanks, -- Eric Stern [EMAIL PROTECTED]
