8 The kernel module is forcedeth. It doesn't autodetect so do a modprobe and
9 then set up the network. It does exist on the minimalist install cd 2004.1

16 With the nforce chipset I needed to remove the ACPI and APIC options in the

18 ACPI and APIC the machine freezes periodicly. Without those its fantastic.
