- I have been enjoying linux greatly, having fun watching things progress. We
- recently received a new gateway ATI PRO 66Mhz machine, which I immediately blew
- away the disk and installed a linux partition.
-
- I installed the sls distribution and updated to 0.99. Has anyone taken
- this configuration and gotten any of the tcpip stuff to work with an SMC card?
-
- I just got and read the new NET FAQ for 0.99 and still can't get anything
- to work. During bootup I get the syntax for /usr/etc/inet/config displayed
- twice during boot up. I am fairly sure I answered all the
- /usr/etc/inet/install.inet problems appropiately. I know that the IRQ and I/O
- address's are right, (IRQ 5 And i/o 280) becuase dos uses them and works.
- Also the memory address were right stock (D0000).
-
- One other strange thing is when I soft boot into dos, the tcpip there doesn't
- work, but if I hard boot into dos it does. (this is reliable). Seems that
- linux is locking up the ELITE SMC 16 card somehow.
-
- Any ideas appreciated, all commands come back with network is unreachable.
-
- Please reply to address below or POST.
