This matches a hard coded jumper on - the board as well a common soft config setting. - - Unfortunately, the kernel's autoconfiguration process (specifically, - some of the devices it probes for) causes conflicts with the SMC - Elite Ultra, and very often causes it to lose its configuration and - fail its own probe. If this happens, you must boot the computer - into DOS, and run the EzSetup program from SMC (if you do not have - a copy on the floppy accompanying your board, you can download it - from ftp://ftp.darmstadt.gmd.de/pub/pc/hardware/nic/smc/gez122.exe - - it is not available from SMC anymore). This program will allow you - to reconfigure and recover a card that has lost its configuration - with a minimum of hassle. - - In order to avoid blowing away the card, one *must* use the - run-time kernel configuration system when booting the Install - kernel. This is done by giving the -c flag to the initial boot - request. Following the loading of the kernel, the user is - presented with a - - UKC> - - prompt. At this prompt, a variety of commands may be issued, but - the relevant one to getting the SMC Elite Ultra running is - 'disable'. The wt0, el0, and ie1 devices all need to be disabled. - This is done by typing 'disable' followed by the name of the - device, i.e., 'disable wt0', and pressing return. - - If, for some reason, your Elite Ultra is not configured at the - 'default' location the kernel is expecting it, you may also use - the 'change' command in the UKC system to modify where the kernel - will look for it. Typing 'change we1' will allow you to modify - those settings. Note that running the card at an i/o port of - anything other then 0x300 at this point is not recommended, and is - beyond the scope of this document-- by doing so you risk other - device probes wreaking the havoc we are trying to avoid. - - When all three extra devices are disabled and any changes made, - the 'quit' command will exit the UKC. The kernel should then - boot, and find your Elite Ultra on device we1. - |
