Hi,
I'm installing 1.2 on my Alpha AXPpci33 ...
So I dd'd the rz25-image file onto the disk I'll be using. Made the
recommended changes to the /etc/* files, and it seems to boot o.k.
Except: It can't find the ethernet card I'm using to test drive.
The card is a 3com 3C906-TX . Like I say, this card is just for testing
purposes, but I was hoping to buy a similar one, as I've had good
experiences with 3com.
On boot up, it detects the PCI bus, the video card, etc.
Then it says:
vendor 3Com, unknown product 0x9050 (class network, subclass ethernet,
revision 0x00) at pci0 dev 8 function 0 not configured
Is this card not supported, or am I a pratt? Do I somehow have to get a
generic kernel on to this baby? I'm still using the disk image one...
