I'd be happy to.

No, I'm 99% certain that the problem isn't really in the ethernet drivers. It's the machine's buggy PCI/IDE chipset causing the drivers to fail. If I put another network card in one of the PCI slots it will also fail. From my understanding, the problems with these particular machines have been known for a while. http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2003/debian-alpha-200308/msg00082.html The odd thing is that the 2.4.2x Debian kernels do boot and appear to function properly (outside of bringing up a network interface.) I would expect it to work in the installer if you can still skip the network configuration. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
