Just for curiosity I tried (unsupported) kernel 2.6.3-6 on my Opteron Suse 9 box. Boot goes, but it cannot configure eth0 Is there something (different from what it does when I boot 2.4) that I have to add? Or, likely, should I better give up and wait.

Just a guess: you use a bcm57xx driven card? Then you have to use the tg3 driver with 2.6 (there is no bcm5700 in 2.6)

no. I am aware in /etc/modules.conf and in /etc/modprobe.conf I have alias eth0 tg3 -- Eros Albertazzi CNR-IMM, Sez. Bologna Via P.Gobetti 101 I-40129 Bologna, Italy Tel:(+39)-051-639 9179 Fax:(+39)-051-639 9216
