I will do my very best ;)

Another thing to mention is that I compiled various 2.0.10 kernels,
with and without support for scsi, ether, tokenring. And I can tell
you that all kernels *without* tokenring worked! But including the
tokenring driver, the 'dd' - 'test' broke within a few seconds
resulting in a segmentation fault (EIP:get_hash_table).

And the tokenring driver doesn't seem to work at all, but I have a
1.2.13 - TR-Kernel in a different machine with the same card which
works.

I haven't tried this kernel in the new machine yet, but I will do so
in the next minutes.

Regards,
