Okay, got a chance to finish working this. It _does_ boot my Miata - it was the de4x5 driver that was puking on my 21143-PC adapter (built-in) (it shows as a DC21142 rev 48 under 2.2.12-29 (stock RH6.1)). I tried with the tulip driver, but that wedged configuring the eth0 device.
Then I set it so there was no ethernet cards supported (created the modules, never installed them). System now boots, but oopses when I ifconfig the ethernet card. But _only_ when I set the IP address, the netmask, and broadcast address at once. Wierd.
Does anyone have a pointer to a new tulip.c that actually compiles under the latest 2.3 series? I tried 0.91 from cesdis, but it didn't even compile. I can provide the errors, if anyone would like. Help/ideas? Oh, and when will changes like this get folded into 2.3 proper? I'm still running 2.3.10 to do benchmarks as nothing newer boots on rawhides...HELP!!!
