Which IRQ does it find ? Are you sure that IRQ has not been assigned to some ISA device ? There currently is NO conflict checking between PCI and ISA devices, though I've got code ready for test that will repair this ... Could you please try booting the kernel up to the panic, and then boot some other kernel that is known to work. Check, whether the second kernel can get at the first one's message buffer (i.e. whether 'dmesg' still gets at the messages from the failed boot attempt ...) } The next line doesn't come, just a panic, and the reboot is so } quick, that I can barely focus on the screen to start writing before } it reboots (doesn't feel like the 15secs it says) } } So, the question is, are there any known problems with the driver } in -stable, or anywhere that I should be looking for where the problem is? Well, I can assure you, that the driver in -stable should work with the ASUS SC-200 just fine ... There has been one trivial change in January, the last substantial change was back in October 1995. Guess there is some hardware configuration proble, e.g. the card might be jumpered to use some PCI interrupt line other than IntA. } I don't know if maybe I've left out something from my kernel, } included is my config file for the current kernel: Seems fine except for the fact, that there are quite a number of devices, that surely don't all fit into your system :) And I now think, that one of them conflicts with the IRQ assigned to the NCR ...
