When tring to install this card using AutoProbe during the initial install of RH 6.0. The error message ,"Token Ring card out of memory", starts scrolling up the screen. Unable to complete install. We then ran the install w/out Token ring support. The install went fine but when tring to install the card manually. We again got the error message of, "Token Ring card out of memory". We booted the system then upon the initialization of the card. We got the out of memory error again. Hence, I had the user go into single user mode then go into linuxconf and remove the support for the card so he could boot up and go into X.

Token ring support is fixed in bits through to 2.2.9 where ibm folks report it stable. I don't think its going to be terribly easily to push all those fixes back into 2.2.5, but it could be done.
If you have an installed machine and would like to test if this is fixed, please try the 2.2.10 kernel from rawhide.
