Reboot helped a lot, .... (I did not recognize that with the first update also the kernel was updated) Floppy and USB are recognized now.
However the Ethernet port eth0 is mentioned in the dmesg, but not used

Generally a "no link" means that the cable was not connected or is not seated all the way. Try removing and re-inserting the cable and rcnetwork restart to see if becomes available. You can check this with either dmesg or (as root) ifconfig. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
