Hi List,
I have a 164LX-based machine on which I have installed Digital Unix.
It has a tulip-based card, a D-Link DFE-500TX Rev-C2, which has a
Digital 21140-AE chip sitting on it. The problem is that at boot time,
it says (among other things):
tu0: no SROM info for selected media
and it says it in the uerf log too:
tu0: DECchip 21140: Revision 2.2
tu0: No SROM info for selected media
tu0: at pci0 slot 6
tu0: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet
_Interface, hardware address
_00-E0-29-00-B9-EB
tu0: console mode: selecting 10BaseT
_(UTP) port: half duplex
and the network doesn't work. The network card has a fine selection
of link lights on it and they all light up as I would expect. The
network just doesn't work. I can't ping. I can't telnet. I can't ftp.
I'm confident that the lack of network is related to this `SROM' error
message: I just don't know what to do about it.
I've tried other 21140-based network cards: A different D-Link DFE-500TX,
with a 21140-AF chip and an SMC Etherpower (I think) card with a 21140-AE
chip. Both give the same error. [Actually, the error above comes with the
SMC card in the machine, not the first D-Link.]
Has anybody seen this problem before and, more importantly, how did you
make it go away? *All* tips gratefully received.
Many thanks,
