[expert] eth0 hangs on bootup

[Michael W. Hall]

I downloaded and installed the MandrakeFreq 8.0 version of LM8.0.  However,
when the system boots it hangs on the bring up eth0.  Is there a way to
start the system without it trying to bring up eth0?

I have a Linksys network adapter.  My computer is a AMD-K6-2 500MHz, 386MB
RAM, and an FIC VA-503+ MOBO.

Thanks,
