I moved my 800 MHz Athlon slot-1 CPU and ASUS K7V m/b over to my 400 MHz K6-3 400 MHz and Tyan Trinity S1598 m/b machine that I use for Windows and Linux experimenting. Under windows after going though a bunch of detection stuff and haggling with drivers I eventually got everything going. Under Linux with a custom 2.2.17 kernel under 7.2 everything came up like before except for eth0. Under 8.0 beta 3 it complained that the module didn't load properly when it used to work. When I moved the NIC to a different slot I got the same results. The NIC that I am using is an Intel Ether Express Pro 100 PCI. There are no ISA slots on the m/b. One other thing that I tried seeing that I had just burned a copy of mdk 8.0 RC1 was to try to do a fresh install of that to see if a fix was in there, but it also choked on the NIC during installation. The current hardware configuration of the machine goes something as follows: 1. CPU: 800 MHz Athlon slot-1 2. M/B: ASUS K7V w/ BIOS v 1.007 3. RAM: 256 MB PC133 ECC RAM w/ ECC enabled. (I had to reflash the BIOS in order to get ECC to work right.) 4. Video: ASUS V3800 Ultra Deluxe. 5. Sound: SB128 PCI in slot 3. 6. NIC: Older EEPro100 PCI in slot 4. 7. Power Supply: 300W. Any suggestions on how to get things going would be appreciated.
