Very Computer

Hi,

I installed RedHat 6.1 on my PC(dual boot 98/Linux). Everything is fine
exception the RedHat can't recognize my ethernet card( Intel
EtherExpress ISA Pro 10/10+). The card works fine in 98.

During the installation, RedHat couldn't detect my card at all. So I
tried to load it manually. I tried two ways:
1. I put ether=5,0x210,0,0,eth0 ( the conf in my 98) in lilo.conf, then
reboot the machine. During the boot, lilo couldn't start eth0.
2. I run lsmod, I found nothing there. I do have
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net/eexpro.o file, so I said insmod eexpro. The
linux hangs forever. I have to power off the machine.

What did I do wrong? Please help!

Regards,
Michael

I have done what you suggested. That is how I set up my 98 but the same
setup (irq,io) won't work in redHat.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Michael

go to intel's web page and get
"softset" a dos utility to set i/o and irq for the net card,
( you need to boot your box in dos )
then enter those settings when you boot in linux,
