I have been trying to install the latest GNU/Debian release (Linux version 2.2.17 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000) flavor 'vanilla' on a Compaq Prolinea 590. This machine has 98MB of RAM, a 6Gig HD and a 3.5 inch floppy drive. I upgraded the BIOS with the latest Compaq ROMpaq: (version 98.05.20). I have been able to sucessfully install the base system. Since I do not have a CDROM drive, my plan was to configure my PCI Ethernet card, a Linksys 10/100 LAN Card, Model LNE100TX - which uses the tulip driver, so that I could access Debian's packages at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/. Unfortunately, I am unable to get my card to work. I orginally tried (during my initial install of LINUX) to install the tulip driver that came with this Debian release, but an error message resulted saying that the resource was busy. Incidentally, I also tried to install the lp driver for parallel printer support, and I got the same error message. Anyway, I yanked out the card and moved it to the other PCI slot. I tried a full install of linux again, but was greeted with the same error message while trying to install tulip: resource busy...most commonly IO or IRQ conflict...etc. I subsequently hit the HOWTO's on www.linuxdoc.org, where I read through the Ethernet HOWTO. I learned that I should test to see if my card was even being found. I ran dmesg | more and discovered that no eth0 existed. Here is thye full output of dmesg : ---START DMESG--- Linux version 2.2.17 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 Detected 90209 kHz processor.

PCI: Using configuration type 1 PCI: Probing PCI hardware I tried to use Compaq's F10 Setup software for the computer to configure the card properly, but to I haven't a clue what I am doing with memory ranges and I/O ranges: The software won't let me choose an I/O range less than 1000 - 10FF. It also won't let me chose a memory range less than 41000000 - 410003FF. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUES??? MAYBE A BAZOOKA?
