Awesome, thank you Patrick. My machine is now installing happily. I didn't need acpi=off by the way.

Do you have any idea of a timeline for next release? I don't want anything specific, but is it likely to be 6 months away, or closer to a year, or something else?

Cheers,
Greg.

I have a Epox EP-9NDA3+ motherboard in a new machine, whose onboard
network card is referred to in Windows (preloaded) as "NVIDIA nForce
Networking Controller". I'm not sure if this is helpful, but again
in Windows the 'Driver File Details' lists NVENETFD.sys and
fdco1.dll


For some reason, the nForce3 on-board Ethernet considers itself a
"bridge" (PCI class 0x0680) instead of an Ethernet controller (PCI
class 0x0200).

I have fixed this for our next release, but in the meantime, try
running:

    modprobe forcedeth
    /etc/master

...after the failure.

(Also, you may have to boot with "acpi=off".  See the FAQ for
details.)
