At the lilo prompt, type in "linux x86_serial_nr=1".
Then you're all set, the kernal will find a serial number and be happy.
I tried different ways to amend the /etc/lilo.conf, include 'append...',
'default=linux x86...', etc, so that I don't have to
watc
Is it amd chip based?

Frank,
Don't know which version of linux you run, I just built a BP6 dual celeron
box,
the redhat 6.2 installed out of box, it automatically chooses the smp i686
kernel for it. I was preparing for much worse.
Also a cheap alternatives to the tulip cards is the DLink 530TX+
which uses
realtek 81
