When I installed my 8Yo, (ISA with 8 port octopus), I had to change the memory address from what was set in the kernel config file. LINT has: iomem 0xd4000 I used: iomem 0xd2000 The LINT recommended memory was conflicting somewhere. The tech support guy at Cyclades pointed this out (I got a Un*x literate support guy!) But overall, I've been running the 8Yo for about a year with no problems. Patrick Gardella PS: On a side note, the DIP switches on a Cyclades are easy to switch by accident. I bumped a few of them when I was installing an ethernet card. Turned on like 4 or 5 IRQs. Messed me up for a few hours. It worked but nothing else did.
