RE: RedHat Alpha an Teles ISDN Card

[Alan Wood <alan wood abfl co uk>]

Hi,

The other thing to consider is that often the failure is with the
item that has not displayed anything, trouble is you can only tell what
that is by watching a good boot with the same kernel, which is often
difficult. I would however concur that it is a good move to check that
the IRQ and i/o are not clashing, and that the HiSax is the recommended
driver, although I too have only used this on a 486.

This message looks promising. But what about irq 15. Ae you sure it is
available on your box ? It might be needed by the EIDE controller, or by
some SCSI hardware, etc.I know that on X86, the teles support was
broken. It is now recommended to use the so-called "Hisax" driver. But I
have no clue whether this has been ported for AXP...Have a look around
on the web, specifically in Germany.
I use Hisax onan x86 with excellent stability and speed.
