The symptom is garbage on the screen immediately after switching on the computer. Seems like IRQ and/or io-adress problems, but if I try a different VGA-Card - which will not support XFree86 of course :-( - with the same jumper settings on the ethernet-card, the systems comes up normally. So I've been told to disable IRQ2 on my ET4000, but there is no jumper to realize this - no documented jumper of course :-/ . Did anybody had the same or similar problems, and if the answer should be yes, how did you resolve this porblem?! A guy who has a network card, but may not use it! Please answer via E-mail, for I do not read the news daily.
