I recently swapped out an 3C509 with an old Eexpress 10. Now suddenly,
my nfsroot box won't boot.
Apparently the card is not being initialized properly prior to the
RARP requests being sent out.
* My hub shows a green light when a card is up and running. It never
does in this situation
* SOFTSET.EXE shows everything working fine (0x300,irq5,rj45)
* Outside of nfsroot, (booting via a boot/root floppy), it works fine.
* tcpdump shows no RARP requests going out, but the transmit light on
the back of the card blinks occasionally
* linux 2.0.27/80386sx16/2MB
If anyone has any ideas .... lemme know. And if any more specs are
needed, let me know.
N!
