Hi @ll,

after using the 1.6.1_raq1.diff (from mkcd.tar.gz) the /dev/console-problem
was gone ;) i havn't seen this patch earlyer. 

@cdi now your console.c-patch works at my system ;) thx

@Ray all u have to do for a new rescue-image Qube1/2700 is to compile both
kernels without tulip and enable e.g. 3com (ex*). The few changes in /etc..
(ifconfig, paneld etc) from tlp0 to ex0 should be quick made ;)

For Installing : 
--> put a working 3c905b/c-Card in that Box
--> boot the resque-cd (the new one)
--> netboot the qube2700 with tulip 
--> after the lcd get new initialized, plugout the tulip and put your
network-cable into the 3com-card.
--> the install-process schould work as normal ;)

--> reboot the qube; ready.
 

thats all.

so long,

axel
