Sigh. You're right:
Sep 20 18:35:07 riker kernel: Linux version 2.0.21 (root@riker.diamond-lane.net) (gcc version 2.7.2) #2 Fri Sep 20 18:13:16 PDT 1996
Sep 20 18:35:07 riker kernel: STALLION: EasyIO found, unit=0 io=2a0 irq=10 nrpanels=1 nrports=4
...
Sep 20 18:35:07 riker kernel: eth0: 3c509 at 0x310 tag 1, AUI port, address 00 00 c5 4a 19 9e, IRQ 10.
I forgot I hand patched drivers/char/stallion.c to use a different
interrupt, and then used a fresh distribution to compile 2.0.21 (first
time for that since 1.3.86, 50 patches ago?).
The single feature I'd like to see in Linux 2.1 is a method of
configuring all the drivers without having to touch the source code
(stallion.c and the sbpcd come immediately to mind).
Good luck with 2.1 ...
