- Got through the install scripts with no difficulty and am having a
- couple of problems.
-
- 1) after an ifconfig of the ethernet board I get a recurring error
- message "reject 65531" (underlined) about once a second. Board is a
- WD8003e IRQ 2 I/O 280. The error messages stop if one downs the
- interface. When pinging the address from another machine, no echo
- reply is returned.
-
- 2) the floppy drive light lights up when booting off the hard disk and
- stays on thereafter. Any attempt to access it results in the program
- used (mread and/or loadfd) hanging indefinitely with the disk spinning
- but the head never moving. Board is an Adaptec 1542b, system is an
- Everex 3000 386.
-
- Any "instant fixes" for these?
-
- Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
