but the real killer is the networking, which just flat doesn't work no way no how. again, this is all on hardware that worked flawlessly with 7.2. nic is an rtl8139, for which there are two mutually exclusive kernel modules, 8139too.o and rtl8139.o. i have tried each one, to the same effect.
<snip> Have you selected "acpi=off" when the pc is booted. I had exactly the same problem after installing SuSE 8.2. The on-board LAN interface did not work at all. after inserting a network card in the pci slot, it was not recognised either. After re-installing with "acpi disabled option", both interface cards are now recognised. LW999
