i have a LC 575.
i was having some ethernet problems before, the sn0 was locking up
occasionally. and trying to read music off the CD was causing a kernel
panic.
in any case, i decided maybe i'd cvsup the source and rebuild the system
to see if that would fix it.
firguring that 20M RAM was not going to be good, i put a 32M simm in, and
rebooted.
everything seemed fine, but the ethernet was not working at all.
i was seeing sn0: Tx errors.
odd.
i figured, ok, well, i'll put the 16M simm back in, and do the build process
like that.
well, i put the 16M back in, and i get the same errors.
i tried reseating everything, and still, got Tx error.
i fired up MacOS, and had no problems using netscape and ftp from there.
now, putting in the 32M i can conceive of possible problems there, but when
i restored the system to its original state, should i not have be back to
just the occasional sn0 hangs?
any ideas?
