Anyway, this driver does not (yet) support PCI autoconfig, so you have to boot with -v in order to see the PCI IO port address, and use this one after a new boot with -c. (Caution: you cannot enter such a high port address using the visual config screen, you have to use the classic command-line configuration utility.) The tricky thing is that your PCI configuration data might scroll too far off the screen so you cannot see it, not even with syscons' scrollback feature. If you get the system multi-user, you can have a look into /var/log/messages however. -- 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. ;-)
