Okay, it mostly all looks normal except for that bit about the smc ethernet chip.

In your first posting, you wrote a different value for the "smc chip id/revision" line.
Was that correct?

Does it now always give 0x3349 for you?

Here's the "normal" output from one of my Mk2a players:

smc9194.c:v0.12 03/06/96 by Erik Stahlman (erik@vt.edu)

SMC9194: SMC91C94(r:9) at 0x4008000 IRQ:7 INTF:TP MEM:6144b MAC 00:02:d7:22:07:ea




The detection/initialization code (in linux/drivers/net/smc9194_tifon.c)
is rather difficult for me to follow, so I'm not sure exactly why it first sees the chip
(0x3349) and then later decides that there's no chip present (?).

But one could instrument that code (add a bunch of printk() lines to see
exactly where it bops out) to get a better idea of what the trouble might be.

There's nothing definitive there yet.

Cheers
