Prometheus Card and Voodoo 3 3000

[Adam K. <ako...@co...>]

Hi,

Ever since I've installed my Prometheus card, I can't run LinuxPPC (or =
LinuxM68k).  The machine locks up after the fb devices prints out a few =
messages (I ECS and CLGen).  I'm under the impression the Autoconfig =
routines may not like the fact that the Prometheus card requires 512MB =
of space allocated.  Any thoughts?

Sincerely,

Adam Kowalczyk

Can you please provide us with kernel output and pointers to
(preferrably technical) information about the Prometheus card?

Please describe in a bit more detail what you have done and what
happens.

interfaces: (the eth0-part)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

resolv.conf:
(set up two dns-servers, dunno if that should have anything to do with this)

I've tried (in various orders):
ifup -a/eth0
ifdown -a/eth0
/etc/init.d/networking restart/stop-start/reload
/etc/inid.d/dhcpcd start etc.

ifconfig only shows lo.

I have no problems when I use static ip's in interfaces, but I cannot do
that anymore (I have no static ip)

Best Regards

So far, so good. :)

The DHCP client should automatically be run on ifup. Do you have one
installed? If yes, try another one, not all of them seem to work
everywhere. (It looks as if you have dhcpcd, but that's deprecated. I'm
using pump, and then there's also dhcp-client).

Are there any DHCP related messages in the syslog?
