Ok, here we go again. I'll be a lot more specific this time as I have
the errors in front of me. I have a PCI/ISA system (don't know the
motherboard type off the top of my head) with 8MB ram. WD Paradise
video card, WD wd8003 ethernet (0x280, irq 5, 0xd800). I had a PCI IDE
controller in the machine for one test, and not in for the other. I
have one of those wonder-boards that does
ide/floppy/serial/parallel/game control. As I mentioned, the first time
through, I used this board to control floppies, serial and parallel
ports, while I used the PCI controller for the IDE drives. The second
time through, I used the multi-function board, and disabled the PCI
board. I got the same results both times.
What happoened: Boot appeared to work fine (that is, it loaded the
kernel and prompted for the filesystems disk. Once that disk goes in, I
get the following messages:
( most of these are shortened)
ed0: found at 0x280, irq5
