[...] [the 486 complained "reject 65531"] Thanks to all the people who responded. The problem has been worked around. Note: The graphic card didn't have anything to do with this. I swapped the cards, but the problem remained on the 486 box. Instead, the configuration is now: jumper settings on the SMC+16 such that irq 10 with i/o address 0x300 and ram area at 0xcc000 are used, yielding 16 kilobytes "ram". The kernel config on the 386 is (still) we0 iosize 16384 with option WD8013. The kernel config on the 486 ist now we0 iosize 8192 (Yes!) with option WD8013. The effect is that the 486 box runs nicely and has no problems whatsoever, and the 386 box gets something messed up on warm-boot and the BIOS beeps miserably. Hitting F1 allows it to boot, but the vga refuses to display anything sensible, except after invoking XFree86 1.1... But I don't think that's a problem - there's this nice little red button... -Bernard -- === ____ === EUnet Deutschland GmbH === / / / ___ ___ _/_ === Emil-Figge-Str. 80 === /---- / / / / /___/ / === D-W-4600 Dortmund 50 === /____ /___/ / / /___ / === Germany ===== ===== Vox +49 231 755 2444 ===== Connecting Europe since 1982 ===== Fax +49 231 755 2386
