Then I booted ...but I had a similar problem with a PnP ISA NIC: I installed it and forgot to attach the cable (RG58, 10BASE-2), and the kernel yelled loudly "ed0: device timeout". I suspect that you have automatic media sensing on your card(s) and the selected media is the wrong one. I would try to force to 10BASE-T (I seem to remember you were speaking about a class 5 cable, so I assume you're working in TP-mode) using your DOS disk and reboot. Hope this helps you!
