Brett, |

Thanks for your help. I have tried to battle with it |
4 |
but I have given up! >:o( (for now anyway) It seems |
5 |
to lock up completely after a while. |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm also not having any joy in getting eth0 working - |
8 |
not helped by whacky console! The install doc |
9 |
suggests modprobe tulip, but this doesn't get eth0 to |
10 |
appear if I do an ifconfig. |
11 |
|
12 |
Very frustrating! Still, better than Debian - it |
13 |
hangs while booting from CD! |
14 |
|
15 |
Perhaps I'll look into swapping the D360 for a |
16 |
proliant and try X86 gentoo! Either that or raise a |
17 |
bug report and wait... :0/ |
18 |
|

Regards, |

21 |
Graham. |
