Greetings, I was trying out the kernel-2.4-test2 and saw that it does not recognise my ISA-NE2000-network-adapter. Here is the output in /var/log/messages: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: failed to detect IRQ line. It works well with 2.2.14. The only difference in kernel-settings is, that with 2.4 I included the soundblaster live-card (2.2.14 with no sound). Could that be the problem? Im away for the next week so this should be a >>hint<< for a possible 2.4-bug - please send me a mail if you or somebody else can verify (or not verify) that problem. Hope that helps with making kernel2.4 a great one :) Gery -- ----------------------------------------- Gernot Bauer, University of Linz, Austria Gernot.Bauer@jk.uni-linz.ac.at - The answer is yes, me. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
