Install problem.
Dear reader.
I have several IBM PC's: MCA based OR PCI based PC's, working fine with debian 2.2r2.
A new one gave me this problem.
The PC is a IBM 520 8641MDG. (Pentium 133MHz). The motherboard has 8 MCA slots AND 2 PCI slots.
The PC is working fine with DOS and Windows NT (sorry I said that).
I tried to install Debian 2.2r2 and 2.2r6 but the install fails on one point.
dmesg keeps reporting that it failed to probe the PCI-bus.
this is a part of the log:
POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfd82c
PCI: Using configuration type 1
PCI: Probing PCI hardware
PCI: Unable to handle I/O allocation for 00:40 (0200), tell <mj@ucw.cz>
Micro Channel bus detected.
Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.2
I told mj@ucw.cz but no reply yet.
MCA slots (and adapters) are working fine.
But since the RAID-controller and the ethetnetcard use these two PCI slots.....
It doesn't matter if use MCA slots or not.
Anybody who has a clue to address these PCI-slots/bus.
Thanx in advance.
BTW. Does anyone know where to get enthernet MCA-cards?
