Re: Kernel 2.2 and 2.4: boot differences?
As to lspci, I did take your advice but the results seemed to tell
me nothing useful. Here they are is. Maybe, you will see something
interesting:
>From 2.2.20-idepci
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation EN-1216 Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)
Subsystem: Accton Technology Corporation: Unknown device 2242
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 1c00
Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

>From 2.4.18 (compiled by me)
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation EN-1216 Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)

I still tend to think the problem is with what the configuration is doing
*after* tulip gets set up --- right where I would have thought things would
be running the same for both kernel images. Can't claim I have much
relevant experience to support that intuition though.

Maybe this is an issue for the tulip*.c maintainer?
You've looked at lspci, right?
