I am doing a fresh install on the new machines. The ethernet howto
does tell me which module to use, and it instructs me to set the io and
irq values. This is to avoid probing. I do this, but when the module
is being added to the kernel a little blip comes across the screen.
The blip says something about 'root no such user'. Then the
installation is marked as failed. This is a little odd since module
configuration comes before configuring the root account in the install
process.
I guess I could go buy another card, but I would prefer to use the one
I got for free. There is a unique pleasure in finding good uses for
other peoples junk.
