The next thing that comes is the Ethernet Card. It is on board and from the dmesg output You see what happens. The card is working properly on Windows XP, RedHat Linux (OpenBSD have the same problems except for the kernel failure). I've tried removing the driver from the kernel so that at least I can boot and install FreeBSD and then probably go on PCMCIA but the kernel failed again saying that the device is unknown (huh !).
A temporary solution as far as the kernel is concerned is to disable the on-board SiS-900 in the bios. Get your boot problem stable. Then, you can fix the kernel and try things.Please, if someone knows a fix or thinks that can help, write me. I'm ready to test patches and provide more information.
I had problems with the SiS-900 on my SiS-735 based motherboard. I had a number of Intel 100's or 3Coms and adding one of them worked just fine. You need to be able to cvsup and in my case I am dependant on the NIC that is connected to my ADSL modem.
FWIW, an FTP between 2 machines with SiS-900's gives me my fastest transfer rates. The 3Com is the slowest. The 3Com's are older because I liked the idea of the onboard memory being 2x larger in the Intels.
