Re: Tulip Drivers Problem in 2.4.xx Kernel

[EricMarts]

All,

Donald Becker had given be some pointers.

I had problems on Windows 95 as well.

Here is what I came up with ... in terms of the system.

The old HP Pavalion uses a Intel motherboard and the
Intel bios (with HP logo etc..)

The PCI is only 2.0? compliant and the card is meant for
2.1 systems..

The on board sounnd and graphics was a pain. Not a like I could
just pull out the graphics or sound PCI card to free up 
resources.

Windows wanted to use PCI Steering -- I couldn't get it turned
off (IRQ sharing with the onboard video card..)
 
Long story short....

I was able to through a Netgear ISA card in assign the IRQ iomem
address via the DOS config tool (writes EEPROM?), and cfdisk, and install

RH 7.0

Does the PCI 2.0 - PCI 2.1 make a difference.

Do I have a chance here to get PCI card up and running?

Thanks,

Eric
