I'm using an NEC versa 4050c. I had to use this to get it to compile w/o
pci:

diff -ruN ../dist/2.3.29/kernel/resource.c 2.3.29/kernel/resource.c
--- ../dist/2.3.29/kernel/resource.c Fri Nov 26 10:43:18 1999

if (end > max)
end = max;
start = (start + align - 1) & ~(align - 1);
+#ifdef CONFIG_PCI
start = resource_fixup (dev, new, start, size);
+#endif
if (start < end && end - start + 1 >= size) {
new->start = start;
new->end = start + size - 1;

It seems to work pretty well (it's only been up for 2 or 3 minutes).
There's another problem. I'm using a xircom ethernet+modem card. The
network works, but the modem doesn't. I get:

/dev/ttyS2: No such device

dmesg shows it to be io 0x0af8 irq 9.

I really wanted to try out 2.3.29 and ppp to see what problems there were (I
wanted to use 2.3 on another machine that has ppp in use)
