Hi,
I am in the middle of trying to get my RiscPC at work running Arm-Linux. Everything on the RiscOS side of things is working.
The problem is that I cannot get the kernel to load properly. Originally I had an I-Cubed card in there and the kernel would identify it correctly and (I assume) ignore it. It would then lock up.
I changed this card for an ANT Ether3 card and now when trying out the kernel I get the following message filling up the whole screen :
"Wild interrupt from backplane?"
The specs of the RiscPC are as follows:
Arm 710, 20MB memory, Sony CD Drive (x4 speed), 850MB hard disc. 1MB VRAM, 486 PC Card, and an ANT Ether3 card.
A *podules tells me that in pod 0 I have an ANT Ethernet AUN discless card.
If anybody has any ideas they would be gratefully received. (Am I running the wrong kernel? Its the one pointed to from the website. Should I change the network card for a different type?)
