Sort of. One thing I've always liked about Red Hat is that its installation
disks are very good at detecting Ethernet cards. (In fact, I keep a RH 6.0
install disk in my toolkit for that purpose alone.) I would try running a
current RH installation floppy on the host and seeing what it turns up in
the way of information.
What I had in mind was modprobing the various HP modules (I think they
autoprobe for IRQ and IOport) and seeing if any of them hit the mark.

I don't use RH or any other .rpm-based distribution, so I can't really
answer that. The few times I have done RH installs, they have always been
completely fresh installs. I think that's what satisfied RH users generally
recommend ... but perhaps you will hear directly from some who can respond
to your question.
You have probably posted previously with the details of the crashes, but I
can't find that message in my back files. You might want to address the
problems here directly.
