sparc-debian problem
i am installing debian 2.2r3 on a sun ultra 5 workstation. When the box has booted and the login comes up the following error messages apear every 30 seconds or so-
eth0: Autonegiation unsucessful, trying force link mode
eth0: Link down, cable problem?
eth0 is the onboard network card
i have no idea why it is doing this. the only reason i can think of it even wanting to reach the network is because when installing i was prompted for which eth* i wanted to use to install debian. i noted this as strange as i am installing from cd and this prompt wasnt optional
any help/clues on stopping it doing this would be great
cheers
