It's in the FAQ. Your IRQ setting of the board and the kernel don't match. Assuming it's a soft configurable NE2k clone, use the setup program that ships with it, and select an interrupt you can actually use. (Really, do use this program. I've seen cards of this type that ship with IRQ 3 enabled, this would clash with the second serial port.) Once you know the IRQ value, enter it for ed1 after booting with -c. -- 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. ;-)
