ummm never mind, I finally managed to sort out the situation and it wasn't a NIC driver issue at all, in spite of appearances -- my guess is some rather subtle failure in link negotiation between the NIC and the switch it's hooked to. Not something I can hope to understand easily I'm afraid. Anyway, the problem is solved and debian-amd64 is installed & running just fine on this box. /dr.bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
