ok so on my router i had just a basic cli install of redhat, but rpm finally pissed me off enough for me to decide to put debian on it. the only problem being, that kudzu (redhats hardware detection/configuration program) set up my nics just fine, while in the debian install, when i pick the net driver "ne", it asks for kernel parameters and gives me this message:
io = 0 (ISA cards explicitly *require* and "io=0xNNN" value)
irq = 0 (tries to determine configured irq via autoIRQ)
______________________________________<--line where you're supposed to type
i looked in my bios hoping to get some info, and found that the memory adresses D000 through D3FF are reserved for ISA devices. i also have irq 3 and 4 reserved, and there are no conflicts with that in the bios.
so i tried using "io=D000", that didnt work, i tried "io=0xD000", that didnt work, i tried "io=Dx000", that didnt work, i tried "io=D300" (for the hell of it) and that didnt work.
i also tried irq=3, and i also tried combinations like "io=D000 irq=3", i tried irq=0 thinking maybe it would auto configure like it says, but no go.
well, you get the point. what am i doing wrong?
