Hello, I finally decided to try out 3.0, but have run into some trouble. The install hangs on "adding route" (on the debugging screen, alt-f2). Further investigation reveals that for some reason my on-the-motherboard Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 net card is not autodetecting my 10baseT hub. The hub light will flash green for an instant when I first plug the box in, then stay dark, while the green link light on the motherboard stays lit. Weird! I've tried manually adding "media 10baseT/UTP" to the additional ifconfig lines as well as manually doing the ifconfig from the holographic shell. Nothing seems to work, yet I know that while I had 2.x running this beastie, all was well and it autodetected the hub just fine. The ifconfig behaves as though all is well, showing the MAC address and media type autodetect (or 10baseT/UTP when forced to that mode with the additional arguments). Is this a hardware problem or software or combination of both? The motherboard is a dual PII board (I've only been using 1 CPU but I'd like to change that if I can get up to speed with 3.0-CURRENT) with onboard EtherExpress net card, onboard Symbio-something-or-other (basically the new name for NCR) SCSI and onboard Cirrus VGA stuff. (Ack, where did I put the manual for this thing!) Any ideas are welcome and I am grateful! Aaron out.
