I have a DTK 486 with a very simple AMI bios and on it a Dlink DE220PT nic on IRQ 12 IO 0x240. Arachne works fine, but fdupdate crashes. It crashes regardless of whether or not I choose to update a package. I'm using the crynwr packet collection ne2000 driver. I get an error about 2 near fnodes sometimes if that helps at all.
The beta driver from Intel for their e100 works with fdupdate on my Pentium 4 system where I am using the 0.54 version of fdupdate on both my 486 and my Pentium 4. I have tried loading freedos on my 486 without drivers, that didn't help. This 486 has four serial ports, 2 parallel ports, and a sound blaster value card. Short of pulling cards out, I'm not sure how to isolate this problem. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems using the crynwr ne2000 driver with fdupdate? It would help a lot if freedos update were smart enough to exit with a meaningful error message that tells me what is actually wrong. Obviously it crashes after the do you want to update question is answered, so what is it doing at that point? I wish there was a debugger for freedos update that would show me the actual instruction that fails. Maybe there is some caching scheme that requires a special exception, but how would I find out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
