I just installed a P133 Mother Board (with the Award BIOS) in my system
(it provides internet access to about 50 users using 7 modems). When the
system boots the Cyclades card is found but it doesn't seem to find the
IRQ. The tyCX ports are not listed like they were with the DX2/66 486
board. I also get message that it is respawning to quickly?
I am running 1.2.5 which has been a very solid kernel (for me) on the
DX2/66 machine.
I tried booting with 1.2.13 and got the same results.
I have been thinking that maybe I should try one of the 1.3.X kernels but
haven't been keeping up on them as much as I should. Are they ELF
kernels and will they work on my system that was originally installed
with the 1.1.18 kernel? I don't really want to re-install linux at this
time unless I really have to...
After changing IRQs and bios settings to slow the p133 down a bit (all to
no avail) I put the DX2/66 board back in and the Cyclades card started
working like normal?
Is there something I should know (that I haven't been able to fine) about
running a P133 with a Cyclades board?
Thanks for any help..
Ralph
