Hi
I have a problem when I'm trying to install Debian 2.1 in my computer. I
have a 3Com EtherLink XL PCI (3C900 10 Mb Combo) network card.
I'll try to install 3c59x module in (debian setup) and I give in command
line like this
3c59x options=0 irq=9 io=0x1000
but then debian setup program says
"If the device isn't there, or isn't configured correctly, this could cause
your system up to a minute" and then
it stucks there.
When I'm looking cat /proc/pci it says
Bus 0, device 14, function 0
3Com 3C900 10b Combo (rev )
IRQ 9. Latency=64
Min Gnt=3. Max Lat=8
I/O at 0x1000
and there isn't any conflicts with the irq and io
cat /proc/ioports
...
00f0-00ff : npu
0170-0177 : ide1
...
cat /proc/interrupts
...
8: 0 + rtc
13: 1 math error
...
The card works just fine in other operating system.
Regards
