Thanks Helge,

that "basically" fixed it, i could use the card with 2.4.16-pa23. However as X has problems with this kernel (X server starts but graphics are garbled). I compiled 2.4.16-pa25, and this is what I get: 

Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel: Wax EISA Adapter found at 0xfc000000
Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel: Warning : device (11, 0x1e, 0x0, 0x90) NOT cl
aimed by EISA Bus Adapter

and then : 
Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel: PCI or EISA Host Bus Adapter 0 not registered
. in8(0x300) returning -1
Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel:

. in8(0x280) returning -1
Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel:
Dec 26 20:45:04 c110-linux kernel: PCI or EISA Host Bus Adapter 0 not registered
. in8(0x320) returning -1

The EISA support should be compiled in, at least I selected it. X is still garbled so no improvement in that area. 

BTW is there a compilation of all the "secret" boot parameters ? It's the second time now that it fixes a problem for me....


Danke nochmal,
