Thanks.
I just realised something!! I have a box I intend to be the Internet GW,
install 10.3 on it, update the kernel, then have problems...
Looks like a network card has died which is going out to the internet on the
other machine. I take out that DE-528 card (ne2kpci) driver, put it in the old
GW box, taking out a 3com Etherlink III card. But there's issues with Promise
controller, making things nasty.
So I take this known good card, and put it in the GE 8300 GS machine, then I
try and install Kubuntu (OS10.3 bugs have put me off and I wanted to try the
KDE Ubuntu system temporarily). But Kubuntu won't install claiming media
failure, so I decide after all to go with the "trusty" SuSE who never let me
down...
I install, and everything fine, until my kernel's updated and I reboot. Then I
have to switch around network cards, as the DE-528 ne2kpci card suddenly seems
to have a hardware error. Oddly I get it running in Vista, but not Vista's ICS
(probably a M$ limitation).
So I need SuSE working.
Actually this machine may be a partial install. I have to do net installs, or
I can't reboot the kernel, but in this case my Internet Ethernet NIC was
screwed by the kernel update to 2.6.22.9.
Therefore, when I got networking on the internal interface, now the Internet
Interface, I had an interrupted install.
May be this explains why I had VESA and such, although I would try to pick up
all the hardware configuration, and it would look like it was the same, and up
to date; may be this stalled installation wasn't?
