Ethernet strangeness on kernel 2.4.20... and more
Hello all,
Thanks for the suggestion to compile the driver into the kernel -
however this has not seemed to work. I'm currently using a 3c905-TX PCI
card, and I'm having the same problem as before. Should I be using the
onboard ethernet (is it supported? If so, what is it? - Compaq XP1000 is
the machine in question). I also have a couple of other odd things going
on. One is that since I upgraded to kernel 2.4.20 from 2.4.19, I get this
in the dmesg:

I assume this is really bad. Should I use a different kernel? What are
people using?
Another, probably silly question is - how do I make it boot up with aboot
automatically, without having to choose a kernel image? Right now it boots
into interactive mode, and I'd much rather have it just boot kernel image
0 automatically.
Thanks much!
