I just picked up a couple of used linux servers and trying to install RH
7.2.  Everything goes ok except that I cannot seem to get the onboard Intel
network cards to work (440BX motherboard).  It's a dual capable motherboard
but I only have one cpu in there.  The NIC's recognize ok and the eepro100
module is loaded however, I can't get any traffic though the card and get
this error in syslog.

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

I was able to get an older version of RH to work without a problem (2.2
kernel). Looking this up on google, it looks like perhaps a problem with the
2.4 kernel and I wasn't able to find a workaround for this.  The only thing
I could find was a document that said to recompile the kernel without the
IO-APIC option but my kernel didn't have that module loaded.  Also, there
were some suggestions to load the -ac kernel patch, but that looks like it
applies to an older kernel version.  Has anyone come across this problem or
even better, know a workaround so I can get these machines going?

Thanks for your help.
