Well, my "theory" was disproved.. :) I have another EISA machine that
works fine. I also booted a kernel with no EISA support, and just only
the very basic drivers, still fails. My mainboard is a "Nice SuperEISA",
while the working one is a "Nice SuperISA" (with 3 EISA slots).
My generic ISA mainboard works also. All 3 machines have the
'SMC Elite Ultra 16C' cards.
The troublesome machine looks like:
486DX2/66
32MB
Adaptec 1742A EISA SCSI
Micropolis 2217 (1.7GB Fast SCSI-II)
AST 4 port
SMC Elite
Mach32 VLB
Microdyne NE3300 EISA Ethernet (not used, 32k @d8000)
