Hello All, Yesterday I purchased a Diamond FirePort 40 . It's easier to describe my present config than go thru the history that lead to this .
symptom is an extremely slow (approx 5 minutes) load of the kernel from sda1 at present both scsi controllers share irq 9 . But the symptom is the same if they don't , I did test this . The activity light remains lighted and then will flicker and a few seconds another '.' will appear . But once the system is up it is as responsive as ever . The present configuration on the FP-40 is a supported configuration according to the manual as long as nothing is attached external .
The present dmesg after my .sig & the present compile environment . patches: linux-2.0.36-alan-pre6 only.
Now the description , Main memory size: 128 Mbytes 1 AuthenticAMD 586 processor 2 16550A serial ports 1 1.44M floppy drive no IDE devices .
