Ive got similar problems with the 8139too driver on my alpha, but
I cannot post the output of the diag program because the computer stops
working and keeps printing PCI-error-messages.
Sorry, I canīt post this error-message here because the computer is at
home
and iīm at work right now, it seems as if the driver tries to access a
non-existent PCI memory block or so ?? System: Alpha 21066 (Noname) Kernel
2.4.0-test1. I tried switching off mmapped io but it didnīt work. now Iīm
compiling the kernel with debug support, but this takes quite a while. I
hope I can tell you more this afternoon. ..
