[tulip] Interrupt resources are pending! <- ?

[Max Pakhutkin]

Ok, I've recompiled the kernel and now can boot to both versions. I used
kernel-source-2.2.17-pre6.1.deb for the source (the only one on the cd that
had 2.2.17, all the rest of the sources were older). Then I successfully
compiled all the drivers from netdrivers.tgz. Pci-scan.o gets loaded fine.
But modprob reports unresolved symbols for tulip.o under *both* kernels. I'm
lost. What could be wrong?

Max.
