1. Help! Kernel panicing after 3com install
My apologies if this has been covered already...
At work I run a dual boot Dos/NT & Linux UMSDOS system.
They (PC admin's) went around installing 3com 509 cards
in everyone's machines here at work. (So we could run
MS Exchange - ick.)
Anyway, after the install of the card, NT works fine, but now
I get lots of kernel panics and 'halting interrupt driver'
errors when I boot Linux. This happens right about at the
spot where it starts running through the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2
setup (Slackware 3.0). I moved the rc.inet2 file away to see if
at least it would boot and I still get panics when I try
logging in to the console prompt. This has rendered the
machine totally useless until I find out how to fix it.
(I cannot recompile the kernel because I cannot boot the machine.)
I can boot from an emergency floppy, but only if I don't mount
the hard drive with all my stuff as root. (not very useful).
Other info about the setup:
Kernel: the "aha2940" kernel from Slackware 3.0
Machine: Pentium with a dual purpose PCI/ISA slots.
3com card: 509 (ISA) [ this is the only 'new' feature - it used to work.]
filesystem: UMSDOS (Work won't let me re-partition it)
Am I the only one with this problem?
Tonight when I go home I'll try compiling a kernel for it on
another machine - but I don't know how well that'll go.
