Do some BIOSes not have the ability to ignore #PERR on PCI? Have a look at your settings.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately my Bios does not have this setting.
disable the plug and play feature of the motherboard.
Not sure that would help in your situation or if your motherboard has that option.
Yes it has this option (as well as a slew of options for setting legacy stuff) on the PCI/ISA bus.
I tried several combinations of these settings just now and the failure mode is always the same on the K-6/2 system.
I also tried removing all cards except video on the machine, having only the MacPhyter netgear FA311 card in the machine, and then (again) trying a number of combinations of the BIOS settings.
The failure mode is always the same...eth0 : PCI error 0x800000.
It's too bad the scyld.com website is in such disarray...I'd almost like to post a message over there.
