two problems
Hi,
I'm trying to help someone put Debian on a Pentium 90 and we've run into
the following problems with (1) ethernet card configuration and (2) trying
to make a boot floppy.
The ethernet card is an Intel Etherexpress 16 ISA card. It apparently has
an IRQ of 11 and io address 0x300. The kernel seems to recognize this at
boot time and loads eth0. It says something about autoloading of modules
not being recommended for this card but, other than that, everything seems
to go fine. If one tries to use the ethernet card with dselect, ftp, etc,
it will either refuse to work at all or it will give the following error:
eth0: CU Wedged, Status 0240 0000, Resetting...
The machine will then ftp to the requested address (or telnet there)
mixing normal text with the above error. Eventually (within about 5
minutes) the system will hang and needs to be rebooted.
Floppy problem: When the menu option "Make Boot Floppy" is chosen from the
debian rescue disk menu, the machine will fail to verify the first
sector/track of the 1440 floppy. It will keep trying and keep failing to
verify subsequent sectors/tracks and will eventually give up. The floppy
drive is a 2.88M drive but it reads the rescue floppy alright so it's not
clear what the problem is.
Does anyone know what might cause one or the other or both of these
problems? Thanks much.
J. Goldman
