Boot with `-c', and adjust the values. Note that you can't use the visual mode since it tries to protect the innocent user and doesn't let him enter arbitrarily high values for the port address. > where are the ethernet drivers in the source tree? Some other posting did already answer this, however, you won't have much luck finding any hard-coded address there, of course. They are gathered from the kernel config file. Read the handbook section about rebuilding a kernel to learn about config files. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
