Well, I'm trying to install 1.3.2 on a Solo 2300. It gets as far as
sm1: MAC addresss 00:00:86:08:f2:ee, default media AUI
and that's all it does. ctl-alt-del does nothing after this.
If I remove the card, it finishes coming up - but I can't do much without
that card.
I've tried this with PnP on and off. Any ideas?
Anyway, I can get as far as where the installer asks for my network config,
but then I lose, because the irq problems with this card (a megahertz) seem
to be insurmountable.
I suppose I could burn a CD with the distribution filesets, but that's a
nuisance. :)
