eth0: DE435 not found. ??
Hello.
The last night I started to install debian-0.93R6 on a free partition
of a Pentium, where a LST-distribution runs a couple of month very
stable.
I'm very pleasured about Debian, it was the first try.
Ok, the de435-support for EtherPower PCI is built within the kernel,
whereas debian uses modules. Having installed the base system and
configured debian nicely, I rebooted from a fresh made a boot floppy,
but the kernel doesn't get the EtherPower PCI right. Here is the
output of the concerning boot messages. Any idea? Thanks.
LST (ok):
=========
