When I installed darwinx86-801 on my ServerWorks based P4 server, I
got messages like this:
Jun 22 13:07:26 scream kernel[0]: i82557eeprom: checksum 7f67 incorrect
Jun 22 13:07:26 scream kernel[0]: Intel82557: couldn't allocate eeprom objecti82557eeprom: checksum bac4 incorrect
Jun 22 13:07:26 scream kernel[0]: Intel82557: couldn't allocate eeprom objecti82557eeprom: checksum ee19 incorrect
I thought "no big deal", and installed a 3com 3c905 and was happy.
However, after cold-booting into linux the next morning, I discovered
the EEPROM was trashed and linux could no longer use the card. So I'm
assuming that the AppleIntel8255x trashed the eeprom, because I've
never had a problem like this before, and it was the first thing to
complain about it.
I've re-programmed the eeprom using ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/diag/eepro100-diag.c
and linux works again. But I'm thinking I should just remove the AppleIntel8255x kext
so this can't happen again..
