Hmmm. My BIOS setup utility doesn't seem to have these options. Is there more than one way of setting the BIOS? I'm still stumped on this one. I've gotten all kinds of suggestions, including adding append="no acpi" to LILO, removing PCMCIA support, installing a different 2.4 kernel, changing IRQ addresses (which I didn't try, because I don't know how), but nothing seems to work. I've done installations in the meantime with RH & 9, Mandrake 9.2, and Suse with 2.4 kernels, and they all run both the USB mass storage and the Realek NIC without any problem, which makes me believe that there must be a solution to this in the kernel or network configuration somewhere... But thanks for offering your solution. I appreciate it.
