Yeah, don't I know it. Though it's not actually mine, I just have to get it going. The trick will be getting the e1000 module going for 2.2.20, which evidently means I'll need to downgrade my gcc, etc, etc.... *sigh* Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew why it was freezing like that and save myself a bit of work. I'm just hoping it's a boot-floppies issue and not a kernel issue, so I can install 2.4 on it once it's up. The standard boot floppies work fine, save for the lack of a nic module. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
