Specs: Machine: Zenith Z-Note 433 Lpn+ Memory: 8 Meg Disk: 200 Meg Processor: 386 SX 25 Network: AUI Port Display: Color
Problem: I have an old (and old is an understatement) laptop that I have been trying to get some flavor of linux loaded and using the AUI port. I started off with Slackware 4.0 and I rebuilt the kernel to include the znet driver. When I went to access the AUI port the kernel would "Oops" and panic. So I chatted with some nice folks on #linuxbeginner and they suggested that I try potato or woody. Well woody requires 12 Meg of memory (which I did not have), so I loaded potato. Now when the base install boots it load the 3c59x built in driver and I see the AUI/10BaseT converter light up and my router lights up, but when I do an ifconfig -a all I see is the loopback. So do I need to rebuild the kernel to get it to load the znet.c driver? Is there another driver that is available (as a module) in potato that I could use? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your time. Heath C Bair (MrCandybar) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
