pcmcia ethernet cont'd

OK here's what I did. I've installed the buzz-updates disks and I have a 2.0.6 kernel now and I've added the pcmcia_cs package and the modules that go with it and my system recognises the 3c589c at boot time. However, it doesn't setup the interface for some reason and my "strobe light" is hard on

Package: boot1440.bin / aic7xxx Version: Debian 1.1 I get a kernel panic on SCSI probing on attempting to boot from the standard Debian boot disk and can go no further. My system is a 486 DX2/80 with an Adaptec AHA2842 VL Bus SCSI card. boot1440.bin was obtained from \buzz\disks-i3\current on th

How to interrupt the boot process?

Hello all, I just made a *BIG* mistake on my Debian Linux box resulting in not being able to boot that machine anymore... Some problems with lilo and a custom kernel not finding his modules (that also claim to have unresolved symbols). The machine boots until it hangs when trying to access non-ex

I've sinced learned that I should be looking at /etc/pcmcia/network and since I changed that things started work. However, it would seem that the patch cable I'm using is incorrect because I pulled out another much shorter cable that worked but is too small for me to do anything. Does anybody have

PGP and ELM

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I have noticed that my elm package has some support for PGP, that is it recognizes it at least. I have been searching the FTP site for a package, but without success. The ELM documentation does not even mention PGP, so I am a bit lost. Can anyone give me a poi

Device does not exist

I'm having problems with devices. I put on a clean install of the latest Debian stable release. Then I downloaded and installed mdutils.deb, since I want to have /usr span a couple partitions on 2 drives. When I use mdadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdb4 /dev/hdd3 I get a message Device /dev/
