System:
        486dx4-100
        PCI bus
        IDE drives
        53c810 scsi on-motherboard controller, no scsi devices
        SMC Elite (wd8013) ethernet card
        Kernel 1.1.59 (from slackware)
        Kernel 1.2.8 + Elf Patches

Problem:
        System has previously been running kernel 1.1.59 (slackware)
        with no problems.  Tried updating to version 1.2.8, but the
        kernel now hangs at the ethernet detection at boot time.
        The ethernet card is on irq 10, address 0xd8000-0xdbfff, and
        kernel 1.1.59 used to detect this fine, but 1.2.8 gets as
        far as wrongly detecting the card at irq 9 and address
        0xb8000, and hangs there.  Can anyone think of something
        stupid I'm doing wrong?  I've have tried the kernel with
        both the elf and a.out compilers (gcc 2.6.3) with the
        same result.

cheers

 - Mike
