- Have you recompiled the kernel with the proper parameters for the
- SMC Elite set? It requires 16k of shared memory, not 8k as the WD8003
- does. This occupies d000-d400 and not d000-d200. I am not sure what
- is compiled into the distribution, but to be on the safe side you
- might want to recompile. Look out for the file space.c under the
- /usr/src/linux/net tree and change the parameters there.
