I posted to this group earlier about a problem with installing via nfs.
Thanks to Patrick Volkerding I got the kernel to recognize the ethercard.
But I still have a problem: I get
Configuring ethernet card...
Mounting NFS...
mount clntupd_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send
I'd appreciate any hint as to what's going wrong here.
I did enable the portmapper in rc.inet2.
Cheers,
Marko

1. Help, Slackware 2.0 and SCSI install problems!!!!
Hi,
I recently tried to install Slackware 2.0 on my PC, which has following
configuration:
ASUS PCI/I-P5MP3 Mother board with 60 MHz Pentium
16 MB Ram
SC200 PCI SCSI card (NCR 53C810) PCI SDMS SCSI BIOS V3.0
Diamond Stealth PCI Card with 2MB DRAM
CONNER 230 MB SCSI HD (FULL DOS PARTITION)
Seagate 540 MB SCSI HD (Half DOS and Half LINUX Partitions)
High Performance I/O card with 16550 UART
US ROBOTICS Sporster 14.4 FAX/MODEM with 16550 UART (COM1)
SB 16 Sound Card with CD ROM (CR-563-x)
1.44 MB 3.5" and 1.2 MB 5.25" Floppy drives
External QIC 150 (SUN) SCSI Tape Drive
Logitech Trackman Trackball (COM2)
Philips 1557AS 15" NI monitor
Both the PCI slots use INTA and IRQ 9.
The above configuration works without any problem under DOS/Windows
If I use sbpcd boot disk, it finds my CD-ROM but fails to identify SCSI
devices, the messages scroll by fast so I could not read all the messages, but
it seems that it identifies the SCSI controller as NCR 53C810, but does not
find any devices. The last couple of lines I recognized before they scrolled
off were:
something about INTB, INTC, INTD
scsi: 0 hosts
If I use scsi boot disk the system hangs after displaying
LI
It does not even boot.
I tried to follow some of the recomendations in SCSI.HOWTO such as
disabling PCI write posting and CPU -> PCI buffering
Other recomedations were to fiddle with hardware, I did not fully understand
them, hence I did not follow them.
I checked the /dev directory all the devices are there, but fdisk does not
work.
Has anybody successfully installed Linux on above SCSI, CD-ROM
configuration?
Thanx in advance :-)
