Hi,
I have an intergraph TD30, with two pentium 133 Mhz on it. I run Debian Sid on
this machine, with kernel 2.4.3-pre7. So that was the layout.. Here comes the
problem.
I am installing this machine to make it a router/gateway/dhcp/samba/ftp/web/
server. It is also the machine which is connected to my ADSL modem. This
machine on itself contains one onboard network card of 10 Mbit. That's where is
want to connect the modem to. The second card which comes in later, should be
for the network at my home.
I shall describe the steps i took. To install the things, and i will point out
where it went wrong.
One onboard network card is in it (Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet
LANCE] (rev 2) PCI), not the extra network card (3Com Corporation 3c905
100BaseTX [Boomerang] (rev 0) PCI). I need this card for my current server.
This card is in my current server is needed, b/c i have to have an Internet
connection to install the server (the intergraph) and it has to provide an
internet connection to the other servers in the house. As it normally does.
I installed linux from scratch.
I used the module lance.o
I used the options io=0x3000 en irq=15
Everything is going fine.
I installed linux
I downloaded everything with dselect.
I installed kernel 2.4.3-pre7
I installed pptp, pptp-linux, dhcp, samba*, iptables (SID)
I had everything ready to let it take over the current server. I only had to
put in the network card from the 'old' current server. I did that. This is were
the trouble started.
I had edited /etc/network/interfaces to give the cards a static ip-address. It
used to get it from the current 'old' server from DHCP.
I booted... and saw this error/warning:
-------
pcnet32_probe_pci: found device 0x001022.0x002000
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:06.0 to 64
ioaddr=0x003100 resource_flags=0x000101

ss 00 00 00 00 00 00

pcnet32.c:v1.25kf 26.9.1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I took out the 3com card... but i still was left behind with that stupid
warning. It just keeps saying that... i changed the io and irq settings on the
ethernet card. With a floppy... is an special flop which let you program your
ethernet card. I also booted into the 2.2.18-pre21-1 kernel and tried
everything to load the module, but it didn't get me anywhere.
Then is discovered that if you re-install linux (from scratch) it triggers
something which makes the whole thing work again... The warning is gone and i
can install everything again following the steps mentioned above.
My question is now... What triggers my onboard ethernet card at the re-install.
And how can i solve this error, without re-installing the whole thing. And i
would like to know... for the learning process... what is this error saying...
what does is mean.... i've never seen it before... but that's normal with
errors i think ;-)
Below i have pasted the relevant parts of my DMESG and my
/etc/network/interfaces
I am eager to know what the sollution is and what this error is actually
meaning...
Thanx in advance.

The 3com is not in this machine anymore.. but that card worked without any
problems.. so it's not really worth mentioned it.. I could only paste that is
was dound at irq=bar io=foo...
