When I boot 386BSD 0.1 I get an error: ec0: shared memory error (device conflict) My ethernet card is an SMC elite 16 - WD8003 clone. Settings are as follows: port: 0x240 IRQ: 5 base: 0xEC00 I've changed all of these settings, the only one that seems to make a diff is the port address. But when I change this, the message goes away altogether. What else could be using 0x240? Is this the problem? I've seen some postings that seemed to indicate IRQ 2 was mandatory without recompiling the driver. Is this so? Any help would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Laidman, Computer Support Officer Department of Computer Science Phone: (61 9) 370 6648 Edith Cowan University Fax: (61 9) 370 2910 Perth, Western Australia j.laidman@cowan.edu.au
