Did you upgrade your entire system (lkms too) to 2.1-STABLE, or did you only compile a kernel? >I have exchanged mail with Justin Gibbs, and David Greenman about this, and >haven't seen/heard anything in about 2 weeks.

( could this be something in the eisaconf code? ) I don't know how the eisaconf code could cause this kind of problem. My guess is that its a side effect of the initialization order of devices. We now do: EISA PCI ISA and used to do: ISA EISA PCI You could try moving the call to eisa_configure() in i386/i386/autoconf.c after the initialization of ISA devices and see if that heps. >Ron > >BTW: I apologize for sending a cc to hackers, but I've been unable to get >any kind of response from anyone about this after the initial mail with >Justin and David. ( A little pat on the head, along with "we're working >on it" might be nice :) ) I'm in the process of creating a 2.1-STABLE bootable partition to help debug these issues, but I'm not positive that its just a -STABLE issue. Did you also say you had a 3c509 in the system? >-- >Ron Lenk -- rlenk@xmission.com -- Justin T.
