Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Reply-To: rprohask@uci.edu Keywords: NIC ethernet ed0 SMC Lines: 26 Date: 8 Nov 93 19:36:38 GMT Hello all, Does anybody happen to know if the new RELEASE kernel can be expected to work properly on a GAMMA system? I tried the new kernel to see if it could find the SMC Elite card on a warm boot, and it can. The kernel does not appear to work if I try to boot the machine and start up the networking stuff, reporting ed0: NIC memory corrupt; invalid packet length 1792 repeatedly. The address and interrupt setting are as used for GAMMA. Does anbody know the origin of this error? More to the point, will it go away in a complete install? thanks bob
