This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C16E23.0E790F10 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, I have an issue with a NIC that doesn't get detected upon boot. I can boot from the boot floppies and use UserConfig and set the I/O, IRQ and MEM adresses for the NIC and it will work fine [I had to do this for an ftp install].=20 However, once the machine was completely installed boot -c didn't seem = to work for 5.0-CURRENT anymore,=20 therefore I can't use UserConfig to manually set the NIC up. Questions: 1. Is it the case that UserConfig is *not* an option in the GENERIC = kernel for 5.0-CURRENT? 2. Is it possible to add the options for my NIC to boot.config manually = ? If so does anyone know where the doc is for doing this ? Thanks - Alex=20 ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C16E23.0E790F10 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have an issue with a NIC that doesn't = get=20 detected upon boot.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I can boot from the boot floppies = and use=20 UserConfig and</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>set the I/O, IRQ and MEM adresses for = the NIC and=20 it will work fine</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>[I had to do this for an ftp install].=20 </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>However, once the machine was = completely installed=20 boot -c didn't seem to work for 5.0-CURRENT anymore, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>therefore I can't </FONT><FONT = face=3DArial=20 size=3D2>use UserConfig to manually set the NIC up.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Questions:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>1.
