Very Computer

Look at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
and let me know if it works for you.

I have tried to install the modules, but my 3C590 PCI card
is not detected at boot. I get the message:

bios32_init: BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0x000fa000
bios32_init: entry in high memory, unable to access

I guess this is a PCI problem?
Have anybody had the same problem?
Any help are appreciated.

Well, I have a Compaq Prolinea 590, and a
Diamond Stealth PCI card that works fine.
I have tried both kernel 1.2.13 and 1.3.56.

  this page was infinitly better than the nasa site, especially since it
  had the patch itself on it!

I've been using a 3c590 for a few weeks now, with no problems.

I used the 1.3.45 patch, then brought the kernel up to 1.3.57
the usual way. No problems.

I compiled it straight in though, I haven't tried it as a module.
(I was installing Linux via NFS when I set it up, so needed the
driver in the kernel. It worked, so I didn't change it).

I'm sorry, I've no idea what motherboard I'm using :-)
