All, I reinstalled beta 3 and it did not work again. Seems like there is a bit of a problem with Realtek network cards. Mine is a RTL 8139 but there is a guy on the cooker list with a RTL8129 with the same problem. The route for the gateway is setup eth0 is there everything seems fine. So it looks like this is a show stopper for beta 3 for me and anyone else with a realtek card. Yes I have done the acpi=off and so had he. It has been logged at bugzilla https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1566 so now it's wait and see.

Some newer hardware, particularly mobos with VIA chipsets, does not have acpi implemented properly in the kernel, which causes what you are describing. Try hitting the esc key when the LILO menu comes up and typing the following at the prompt: linux noapic acpi=off and see if that solves the problem. If it does, upgrade your beta 3 kernel to the latest one in Cooker and see if that fixes the problem also. It did for my machine. /g -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
