Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Message-ID: <1993Aug27.013752.17855@netman-gate.netmanage.com> Sender: usenet@netman-gate.netmanage.com Organization: NetManage, Inc. Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1993 01:22:19 GMT Lines: 41 Hi. Could someone enlighten me as to the cause and soln to the error msg "shared memory error (device conflict?)" from the 3c503 driver? I'm installing 386bsd 0.1 from the InfoMagic Aug'92 CD-ROM. The error occurs when booting the Tiny BSD floppy or from hd. This seems like a hardware problem to me, yet the system works fine with Chameleon (TCPIP for MS-Windows). _Just_once_, I did observe the system to boot properly (printing 3c503 Enet addr & other params), but haven't been able to repeat this miracle. I haven't found anything in the FAQ from hrd769.af.mil. Thanks for any help. MarkS / shepard@netmanage.com My config: Hardware: AT-Clone 486DX/33, 8Mb RAM, Oak SuperVGA, 329MB Maxtor IDE HD (type 47), 3.5" floppy, and 3c503 Enet. 3c503 jumpers: iobase = 0x250 membase = 0xd8000 (as per 386BSD "install.notes" file). Have tried all membase jumper settings: DISABLED, DC000, D8000, CC000, C8000 Boot Messages: Booting from "Tiny BSD" floppy: 386BSD Release 0.1 by ...
