Re: [linux-tr] 2.2.1 + turbo ISA

[Chris Piechowicz <chrisp@projectx.com.au>]

Hope you're running on a intel motherboard and cpu; others realy stink.  I was
installing a true blue token ring card for my first time on a non-intel
motherboard....it installed, went to client to hook-up machine and voila "Kernel
Panic"....all efforts to fix and find bug through logs etc went nowhere.
Stripped machine off all parts except (already swapped) vga adapter and
motherboard, and still getting "panic."  Changed motherboard and came up like a
dream.
