Below is a > copy of my customized kernel. There were a lot of things that were in this kernel that I didn't understand. If you were really on a 386, I'd doubt that you had PCI. But that's neither here nor there. However, the to ethernet ports look wrong to me. They only differ by the port. The IRQ and I/O mem are conflicting. That might be causing timeouts. A good way to check it, go into the kernel configuration (-c at boot) and disable the ed0. > device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr > device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr
