Re: [9fans] intel ethernet

Thx, but as I told you in pv, I can't test if that works since any
kernel I build with that change (which I don't think is the cause)
freezes in the same way I described in the other thread (about iso not
booting on T61). Even in pata mode.
I tried building from the sources which had been installed by the iso I
used (from 07/12/07) to install originally. I also tried with the
sources from an iso from 22/12/07; same problem.
I'm currently getting the latest iso, but I don't think it should be
pretty different from the one of 22th of Dec, shouldn't it?

I will attach the pci -v output in a mail in the other thread.

Any idea?

Mathieu.
